Dear Nation Reader:
When Progressive Book Club opened to the public last June, I wrote:
"At this defining moment in our nation's history-a time which demands we
examine complex issues from new perspectives, ask tough questions and press for
real change-it's very good news that a venture like PBC, dedicated, like The
Nation, to enriching our political and cultural conversation and debate,
launches today." (Click here to join:

It's our turn.
For forty years, American conservatives have been pushing ideas, ideology and a
slew of ideologues to advance their agenda. Books have been among their most
effective tools. Now it is our turn.
We are headed into an era when right-wing ideology is politically and
intellectually exhausted and progressive ideas will be at the center of public
debate. In order to win the political battle against a right-wing movement that
clings to power, we need to spread those ideas. That's the goal of Progressive
Book Club -- to push back hard against conservative ideology - and help restore
intellectual balance and honesty to our political culture.
What is Progressive Book Club?
http://www.progressivebookclub.com/pbc2/join.pbc?srcKey=42R10C
PBC is an online book club, selling the latest and best books by the finest
progressive authors. PBC helps you stay current on key issues: health care, the
economy, the environment, the media, and our war-oriented, empire-building
foreign policy. And PBC also offers great fiction, inspiring history and
biography, humor, consumer advice, and much more.
Progressive Book Club's Editorial Board, which includes some of the smartest
and most original thinkers of our time, sorts through thousands of titles to
identify the most fascinating, critical and inspiring books to bring to you
every month. (I should add that I'm honored to be a member of the PBC
Editorial Board- along with Michael Chabon, Dave Eggers, Barbara Kingsolver,
Hendrik Hertzberg, Edwidge Danticat, Mark Danner, John Podesta, Andy Stern,
Bill McKibben, Robert Scheer, Jeff Faux, Eric Foner, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga,
Amy Wilentz, Todd Gitlin, and Lewis Lapham, among others.)

When you sign up for PBC, you join a nationwide community of readers who share
your interests and values. You can connect with authors, activists, policy

roundtables, and readings. And as a member, you can buy books at 10-40% off the

Most importantly, with each club-priced book you buy, you can support The

the great books you can find at PBC:
