Description

The history of America's transformation into a system of unfettered profit and self-interest for the few, at the expense of the many, is a story of intrigue and deception. Over the last half century, a cabal of rich industrialists, business chiefs, and right-wing economic radicals has been quietly building and funding a new empire of think tanks, academic institutions, and lobbying groups. Their goal has been to transform politics, media, finance, and the legal system to serve their interests. Through a combination of strategic funding and ideological influence, this group has been able to shape the country's economic policies and laws to benefit the wealthy at the expense of the broader population. As a result, America's progressive vision has been largely erased, and the country is now dominated by the unchecked financial accumulation and political power of the super-rich. In "Evil Geniuses", Kurt Andersen provides a deeply researched and engaging cultural and economic expose of this phenomenon, revealing the intricate networks and dark truths that have come to control the nation.
