Led by libertarian industrialists Charles and David Koch, along with allies such as the Scaifes, Olins, and Bradleys, this small group of donors has poured vast sums into an interlocking web of foundations, advocacy groups, and academic programmes designed to shift the political centre of gravity firmly to the right. Mayer traces this money trail across decades, showing how tax policy, environmental regulation, labour rights, and campaign finance law have all been quietly reshaped by private wealth operating largely out of public view. Drawing on extensive interviews, internal documents, and years of dogged reporting, she builds a persuasive and often startling account of how democracy can be steered by those with the deepest pockets. The book has been widely praised as a defining work on money and power in contemporary America, shortlisted for the LA Times Book Prize, the PEN\/Jean Stein Book Award, and the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize. Whether you are a student of politics, an engaged citizen, or simply a fan of first-rate narrative nonfiction, Dark Money delivers a gripping, page-turning read that reads with the pace of a thriller while remaining rigorously factual throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeticulously researched investigative journalism from an award-winning New Yorker staff writer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplains the real mechanics of dark money, political donations, and lobbying in the US\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShortlisted for multiple major nonfiction book prizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for book clubs, students of politics, and general nonfiction readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback edition, perfect for gifting or building a political nonfiction collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJane Mayer is a staff writer for The New Yorker, where her investigative reporting on politics, money, and power has won numerous awards.
