Kathryn S. Olmsted

Kathryn S. Olmsted is Professor and Department Chair of the History Department at the University of California (UC Davis). Her latest book, "Right Out of California: The 1930s and the Big Business Roots of Modern Conservatism" reveals how California’s businessmen learned the language of populism with the help of allies in the media and entertainment industries, and in the process created a new style of politics: corporate funding of grassroots groups, military-style intelligence gathering against political enemies, professional campaign consultants, and alliances between religious and economic conservatives. Her other book "Real Enemies: Conspiracy Theories and American Democracy, World War I to 9/11" (Oxford University Press, 2009) documents the shifts in conspiracy theories in America which reflect a deterioration in the relationship of trust between American citizens and their federal government. Much of her research focuses on the influence of anti-Communism on American politics. In addition to these, her other books include: [1]
