"...as Jane Mayer shows in this powerful, meticulously reported history, a network of exceedingly wealthy people with extreme libertarian views bankrolled a systematic, step-by-step plan to fundamentally alter the American political system."-- Dark Money. From the flyleaf
Oligarchic tendencies are nothing new in America. But what has come to exist in recent years is essentially a modernized version of the Guilded Age in which exorbitantly rich people ruled America by hook and by crook.
Author Jane Mayer writes about this new network of lassaiz faire entrepreneurs who have united personal interest with political interest to create a schemata of dominance in the U.S. social and governmental scenes.
I have just begun this book, but am already intrigued, even enthralled. This is the book I have been waiting for. I'll have more in coming days.
Jane Mayer
