Dark Money

Description

By Jane Mayer

An investigation into the small number of extremely wealthy American donors, Charles and David Koch chief among them, who spent four decades and enormous sums building a network of foundations, think tanks and academic programmes to move American politics towards their own interests.

Mayer traces where the money came from, how it was routed to stay untraceable, and what it bought: tax policy, climate scepticism, and a set of ideas that arrived in mainstream politics looking as though it had grown there.
