Summary - Dark Money

Description

Dark Money: A Complete Summary! Dark Money by Jane Mayer is a book about the wealthy donors who founded and support organizations dedicated to promoting libertarian ideals. Jane Mayer is an investigative journalist and a staff writer for The New Yorker, who writes exclusively about the contributions of the wealthy to US politics. David and Charles Koch, of the famous four Koch brothers, are two of the most important founders. They were raised in a way that promotes free-market capitalism, and because of that they did not like anything that even resembled or was associated with communism. After the Koch brothers inherited their father's oil business, Charles and David wanted to buy out their other two brothers. One of the Koch brothers' main ideals is the opposition of any kind of government health and safety regulations. They fought against regulators who alleged that their business endangered employees' lives, exposing them to hazardous materials, such as mercury and benzene. This resulted in a million-dollar settlement. In addition to the Koch brothers, two other important characters in the book are Hillary Clinton, former US senator and candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, and Barack Obama, 44th president of the United States, and the first black president. Dark Money is full of political intrigue, interesting facts, and answers to the questions people may have about the money that funds politics.
