Benjamin Waterhouse is a professor of history at the University of North Carolina who specializes in American politics, political culture, and capitalism in the 21st Century. He has focused on contests between economic groups, including business, labor, and the political class, and how the relationships among them shaped the broader contours of the American political tradition and American economic development. His first book, Lobbying America: The Politics of Business from Nixon to NAFTA (Princeton University Press, 2014) explores the role that large, national business associations -- and their lobbyists -- played in shaping economic policy and conservative politics between the 1960s and the 1990s. His article in the current issue of Jacobin Magazine, "The Political Wing of American Capital" is a must-read. Waterhouse holds a cum laude degree in history from Princeton University, an MA and PhD in history from Harvard University.
Witch, Brothers, and the latest book, By the Light of Burning Dreams, is co-written with his sister, Margaret Talbot.
