In fact, politics barely came up. And yet this meeting—which received no media attention at the time—was the most important Koch-sponsored event of the year.

That’s because this meeting, unlike the traditional Koch network event later that summer, wasn’t focused at all on policy and political giving. It was looking at the future of the Koch network itself, a club of several hundred donors founded by two of the country’s wealthiest businessmen that has marshaled its collective resources to influence American life. And that future increasingly looks like a pivot away from the field that has made the Kochs major players on the right and boogeymen on the left: politics and policy.
