Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right In the late 1980s, Richard Fink, the principal political aide of Charles Koch, laid out a blueprint for a takeover of American politics. The first phase required investments in intellectuals and think tanks to produce ideas and turn them into marketable policy initiatives. The next phase involved subsidising " grassroots " citizen groups that would elect politicians primed to enact the policies — and along with " special interest " lobbyists, keep the pressure on them and government agencies. Faced with serious threats to their energy businesses from environmentalists in and outside the government, Charles and David Koch (whose father was a founding member of the John Birch Society) committed hundreds of millions of dollars to this " vertically and horizontally integrated " plan to establish a libertarian, anti-tax, anti-regulation, anti-union, antisocial welfare, pro-corporate America. In " Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right, " Jane Mayer, a staff writer for The New Yorker and the author of " The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals, " provides an extraordinarily well-documented account of the influential, interlocking organisations with innocuous names created by the Koch brothers. |
