Democracy for Sale, Dark Money and Dirty Politics by Peter Geoghegan, Head of Zeus, 2020, ISBN 9781789546033
Summarising the content based on the publishers blurb;
Peter Geoghegan is a guide to the shadowy world of dark money and digital disinformation that stretches from Westminster to Washington, and beyond. He shows how out of date electoral laws are broken with impunity, how secretive lobbying bends our politics out of shape, and how Silicon Valley tech giants have colluded in selling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. Geoghegan investigates politicians, well-funded partisan think tanks, propagandists who game the system, as well as the campaigners and regulators trying to stop them. This is the story of how money, vested interests and digital media manipulation are eroding democracy - and what needs to be done about it.
