Tonight at 7, I'll be in conversation (over Zoom) with James Boyce, Professor of Economics at UMass Amherst. We'll use my book as an entry point for talking about challenges facing democracy.

Exciting news: for a limited time, the e-book edition of The Dispersion of Power is available for only $9!

It's already cracked Amazon's top 100 "Political History" e-books (right between Rachel Maddow and Nancy Fraser). Hop on the bandwagon and get your copy now!

So grateful for the incredibly generous comments from Anna Jurkevics, Mark Warren, Alex Kirshner, and @afsounafsahi.bsky.social about my book at an Author-Meets-Critics session at WPSA yesterday. And to Temi Ogunye for chairing and snapping a photo!

Book (pre-)release event last night was a great success! Thanks to USC Humanities and All Good Books for hosting, and to the crowd packing the room!

It's finally happening. My book has a webpage! And a release date! You can pre-order it! You probably shouldn't, given the price, but if you have a library (or rich uncle), tell them to buy it for you: tinyurl.com/Bagg-OUP-UK in UK (Jan 4) or tinyurl.com/Bagg-OUP-US in US (Mar 4)
