Non-Fiction Political
Fresh from the first $10 billion election campaign, two
award-winning authors show how unbridled campaign spending
defines our politics and, failing a dramatic intervention,
signals the end of our democracy. Blending vivid reporting from the 2012 campaign trail and
deep perspective from decades covering American and
international media and politics, political journalist John
Nichols and media critic Robert W. McChesney explain how US
elections are becoming controlled, predictable enterprises
that are managed by a new class of consultants who wield
millions of dollars and define our politics as never before.
As the money gets bigger—especially after the Citizens
United ruling—and journalism, a core check and balance on
the government, declines, American citizens are in danger of
becoming less informed and more open to manipulation. With
groundbreaking behind-the-scenes reporting and staggering
new research on “the money power,” Dollarocracy shows that
this new power does not just endanger electoral politics; it
is a challenge to the DNA of American democracy itself.
