WHY I PICKED THIS BOOK:
“Dark Money” by Jane Mayer is a deeply troubling look at the power and influence that unfettered money can buy in US politics. This influence, wielded unscrupulously by a cabal of ultra-rich billionaires, has been fomenting for decades, and is now completely unmoored by the Citizens United Supreme Court decision.
This is a well-researched book that serves as a prime example of journalistic excellence. Mayer skillfully guides the reader through a sometimes complicated history of the “radical right,” charting their growth from pre-WWII to just prior to the 2016 presidential elections.
Warning: Reading this book may cause depression, frustration, and/or anger at the current state of the American political system. Enjoy.
