Dark Money

The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right

Investigative journalist Jane Mayer documents the concerted campaign by ultra-wealthy conservative donors to reshape American politics and public policy. The work examines how influential figures financed academic programs, think tanks, media outlets, and legal organizations to dismantle government regulations. Mayer tracks the expansion of dark money networks that circumvented campaign finance laws and swayed elections across several decades.
