Democracy For Sale

This book provides a thorough investigation into the crisis facing democracy, with unaccountable flows of money helping to destroy it. Politicians are lying and making wild claims that are being shared instantly with millions on social media. Peter Geoghegan guides readers through this shadowy world, from Westminster to Washington. He investigates how antiquated electoral laws are being broken with impunity and how Silicon Valley tech giants have colluded in selling out democracy. This is a powerful account of what must be done to stop this erosion of trust in democracy.
