Title: Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics Author: Peter Geoghegan Narrator: Peter Geoghegan Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 51 minutes Release date: December 24, 2020 Genres: Current Affairs, Law, & Politics Publisher's Summary: Democracy for Sale is the story of how money, vested interests and digital skulduggery are eroding trust in democracy - and a powerful account of what must be done about it. Democracy is in crisis. Politicians lie gleefully, making wild claims that can be shared instantly with millions of people on social media. Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Jair Bolsonaro and populists in many other countries are the beneficiaries. Democracy for Sale is a diligent, brilliant guide through a shadowy world of dark money and digital disinformation stretching from Westminster to Washington, and far beyond. Peter Geoghegan shows how antiquated electoral laws are broken with impunity, how secretive lobbying bends our politics out of shape, and how Silicon Valley tech giants have colluded in selling out democracy. He investigates politicians, fabulously well-funded partisan think tanks, propagandists who know how to game a rigged system, and the campaigners and regulators valiantly trying to stop them. “Thorough, gripping and vitally important.” OLIVER BULLOUGH, author of Moneyland.
