Summary:
A groundbreakingbook that problems Us citizens to reevaluate our sights on how problem andprivate interest have infiltrated every degree of society
From your Tea Party to Occupy Wall Street, however divergenttheir political views, these groups seem united by a very important factor: outrage over asystem of power and influence that they experience has stolen their livelihoods andliberties. Significantly, protesters on both ends of the politics spectrum andthe mass media are using the word corrupt to spell it out an elusory program of powerthat has shed any accountability to the people it was designed to help and govern.
But what does problem and unaccountability mean intoday’s world? It is a lot more toxic and deeply rooted than bribery. From superPACs pouring secret money into our election program to companies buying betterratings from Standard & Poor’s or the extreme influence of lobbyists in Congress, all embody a “new corruption” and remain unaccountable to oursociety’s intended watchdogs, which sit idly alongside the same groupings thathave brought the federal government, business, and far of the army into theirpocket.
