The Best Democracy Money Can Buy: The Truth About Cons, Globalization, And High-Finance Fraudsters

The Story

Greg Palast, 'the greatest investigative reporter of our time' (Tribune Magazine) and a legend among journalists on four continents, has single-handedly broken some of the most scandalous stories of the past decade, including: * How Bush killed the FBI's investigation of the financing of terrorist organizations by Saudi Arabia * How the Bush family stole the election in Florida * How Enron cheated, lied, and swindled its way into an energy monopoly These iconoclastic exposes-along with groundbreaking reports on the World Bank, the IMF, the World Trade Organization, Wal-Mart, Pat Robertson, and more-are included in this provocative collection of Palast's most incendiary stories. Now updated and revised, these reports offer a shocking portrait of corrupt power and politics in today's global economy. Full of the acerbic wit that has made Palast public enemy #1 among magnates and money-poisoned politicians, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy is required reading for anyone who believes that the First Amendment is important enough to use and that democracy cannot be bought.
