Hey everyone, I’ve recently read “Master Plan: The Hidden Plot To Legalize Corruption In America” by David Sirota & Jared Jacang Maher. Im interested in reading more books that expose the dark underbelly of US politics and how the system is gamed to benefit the rich and powerful.
I also recently read “The Plot to Seize the White House” by Jules Archer. It was a different time/political period, but I still enjoyed it. Highlighted the idea that fascism and authoritarianism isn’t a new threat to our country.
Recommendations could also include books that analyze the growing disparities in the US that started in the 70’s and 80’s (what happened in 1973 that caused the average wage and productivity to uncouple?). Reagonomics, etc.
Anyways, who’s got some good recommendations in this same vein?
