About this product

Product Information

NATIONAL BESTSELLER ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR Who are the immensely wealthy right-wing ideologues shaping the fate of America today? From the bestselling author of The Dark Side , an electrifying work of investigative journalism that uncovers the agenda of this powerful group. In her new preface, Jane Mayer discusses the results of the most recent election and Donald Trump's victory, and how, despite much discussion to the contrary, this was a huge victory for the billionaires who have been pouring money in the American political system. Why is America living in an age of profound and widening economic inequality? Why have even modest attempts to address climate change been defeated again and again? Why do hedge-fund billionaires pay a far lower tax rate than middle-class workers? In a riveting and indelible feat of reporting, Jane Mayer illuminates the history of an elite cadre of plutocrats--headed by the Kochs, the Scaifes, the Olins, and the Bradleys--who have bankrolled a systematic plan to fundamentally alter the American political system. Mayer traces a byzantine trail of billions of dollars spent by the network, revealing a staggering conglomeration of think tanks, academic institutions, media groups, courthouses, and government allies that have fallen under their sphere of influence. Drawing from hundreds of exclusive interviews, as well as extensive scrutiny of public records, private papers, and court proceedings, Mayer provides vivid portraits of the secretive figures behind the new American oligarchy and a searing look at the carefully concealed agendas steering the nation. Dark Money is an essential book for anyone who cares about the future of American democracy.

Reviews
"Mayer is. . . [a] writer whose reporting can leave a reader breathless. . . . I urge you to read  Dark Money." --Bill Moyers "Jane Mayer''s  Dark Money  is utterly brilliant and chilling -- no matter how much you think you already know. . . . Read it!" --Naomi Klein, bestselling author of  The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism  and  This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate  "Jane Mayer''s  Dark Money . . . is absolutely necessary reading for anyone who wants to make sense of our politics. Lay aside the endless punditry about Donald''s belligerence or Hillary''s ambition; Mayer is telling the epic story of America in our time. It is a triumph of investigative reporting, perhaps not surprising for a journalist who has won most of the awards her profession has to offer.... She''s a pro, and she''s given the world a full accounting of what had been a shadowy and largely unseen force. . . . [R]emarkable." -- The New York Review of Books "The book is written in straightforward and largely unemotional prose, but it reads as if conceived in quiet anger. Mayer believes that the Koch brothers and a small number of allied plutocrats have essentially hijacked American democracy, using their money not just to compete with their political adversaries, but to drown them out. . . . Dark Money emerges as an impressively reported and well-documented work. . . . The importance of Dark Money [flows] from its scope and perspective. . . . It is not easy to uncover the inner workings of an essentially secretive political establishment. Mayer has come as close to doing it as anyone is likely to come anytime soon. . . . She makes a formidable argument." ­--From the cover of the Times Book Review   "Revelatory. . .persuasive, timely and necessary. . . . [O]nly the most thoroughly documented, compendious account could do justice to the Kochs'' bizarre and Byzantine family history and the scale and scope of their influence." ­-- The New York Times "[A] comprehensive history. . . . [S]tunning." ­--Salon  [D]eeply researched and studded with detail. . .it seems destined to rattle the Koch executive offices in Wichita as other investigations have not. [ Dark Money ] could inspire a more intense discussion about the impact of this wealthy conservative cadre on the Republican Party and the recent course of American politics."  ­-- Washington Post   "[B]ombshells explode in the pages of Dark Money , Jane Mayer''s indispensible new history . . . .combines her own research with the work of scores of other investigators, to describe how the Kochs and fellow billionaires like Richard Scaife have spent hundreds of millions to ''move their political ideas from the fringe to the center of American political life.''" -- The Guardian "Packed with revelations. . . . One of the essential books about our political system''s unparalleled capacity for perpetuating income inequality.  Dark Money  is more than just a work of political journalism -- it''s a vital portrait of a nation that, as perhaps never before, is being shaped by a few very rich, very conservative businessmen." -- San Francisco Chroncicle  "Amazing. . . . The most important political book of the year." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch   "[A]n extraordinarily well-documented account of the influential, interlocking organizations with innocuous names created by the Koch brothers." -- Pittsburgh Post-Gazette  "A careful exposé. . . . Mayer closely documents her charges. . .while delivering a swiftly flowing narrative. . . . A valuable contribution to the study of modern electoral politics in an age that Theodore White, and perhaps even Hunter S. Thompson, would not recognize." -- Kirkus

    Essential to understand and act progressively in American politics!

    An astounding documentary of the pinnacle of organized evil in American politics that is essential for any serious citizen activist to know and have "political literacy" to assess the news and daily developments of our society. Mayer somehow has managed to aggregate an inventory of the most brilliant, secretive, mobilization of billionaires and their funded mercenary intellectuals to neuter public democratic government. Once vilified and depleted of regulatory and social justice frameworks and power, government, the only political structure able to protect individuals and society from the marauding of the richiest sector, leaves the oligarchy to capture the society's wealth. To understand the content and impact of the 2017 Tax Reform Act passed by McConnell and Ryan one has to know that ...

    This should be read by or taught to every American

    I bought three copies of this book and gave away two. If the average American knew the truth they would never tea party. If you want clean water, fresh air, viable wages, and a Democracy you will never vote Republican again! Wake up, read it, I dare you. All through history the wealthy have taken from the poor, felt they were better than everyone else,. Do you really think they are better now?

    Follow the Money

    This book traces the flow of massive amounts of money from the super rick into all aspects of American life: education, law, politics to mention just a few. It should be required reading for all voters.

    Dark Money by Jane Mayer

    Everyone should read this book about the Republican Party and the way money has bought the party and the billionaires behind the money. They vote with the party and not for the America people's interest. I never knew this and I don't think most Americans know this either.
