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

$14.00

By Greg Palast

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 exposés—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.

Plume, 2003, Softcover, 367pp, Appendix, Index.
