Jane Mayer’s Dark Money unveils the covert network of billionaire backers who have reshaped American politics since the late 20th century. Through meticulous reporting, Mayer charts how wealthy families like the Kochs, Scaifes, Olins and Bradleys have financed think tanks, media outlets, and legal campaigns to steer public policy toward radical right agendas.

Drawing on hundreds of interviews, public records and private correspondence, this investigative history explores why efforts to address economic inequality and climate change repeatedly falter. Mayer connects the dots between limitless campaign funds, courtroom strategies and academic initiatives to reveal a well-funded blueprint for consolidating power.

With a new preface reflecting on recent elections and evolving strategies, Dark Money offers an indispensable analysis of the financial forces challenging democracy today.
