Table of ContentsReviews"""However nefarious you think the lobbying industry is in Washington, Brody and Luke Mullins have news: It's worse. Not even during the Roaring Twenties and the Gilded Age did corporate American wield so much influence, fueling the rise of the populist right and the progressive left, of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. In their deeply reported, compelling new book, the Mullins brothers track how that happened, and the disastrous consequences."" --Susan Page, New York Times bestselling author of The Matriarch: Barbara Bush and the Making of an American Dynasty ""This book begins with a mysterious dead body and ends with what deserves to be the death of the malevolent influence of Washington's K Street lobbying firms. But like cockroaches, lobbyists scurry away and multiply. A vivid, brilliantly told tale that unfolds like a novel, this is the most potent portrait of the Washington swamp you will read."" --Ken Auletta, New York Times bestselling author of Googled: The End of the World as We Know It ""This page-turner tells the sordid story about how, over the course of half a century, an ever-growing cohort of bipartisan political hustlers figured out that they could preside over the arranged marriage of corporate money and American politics... for a hefty commission. The Mullins brothers promise to untangle the intricate -- and ultimately, pathetic -- story of the selling of the American republic, and they have succeeded brilliantly."" --Duff McDonald, author of Last Man Standing: The Ascent of Jamie Dimon and JPMorgan Chase and Tickled: A Commonsense Guide to the Present Moment" Author InformationBrody Mullins is an investigative reporter in the Washington, DC, bureau of The Wall Street Journal, where he led the team that won the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting.
