Political Corruption

Millions of Americans have lost confidence in our political and economic system.

Reich shows how wealth and power have interacted to install an elite oligarchy, eviscerate the middle class, and undermine democracy.

It is a chilling story that begins in the 1970s, when Trump made his first splash in the booming, money-drenched world of New York real estate, and ends with Trump’s inauguration as president of the US.

This book confirms the most incredible American paranoias about Russian malevolence.
