Democracy for Sale: The Rise of Plutocratic Capitalism in the USA

By K.R. Stonebridge

"Democracy for Sale: The Rise of Plutocratic Capitalism in the USA" is a compelling exploration of how concentrated wealth has increasingly undermined democratic principles in America. The book traces the historical evolution of capitalism in the U.S., from its early entrepreneurial roots to the current era of plutocracy, where economic and political power is dominated by a wealthy elite. Through an analysis of key areas such as political lobbying, campaign finance, and media influence, the book illustrates the profound impact of wealth on American democracy. It presents case studies on sectors like Wall Street and Big Tech, highlighting their role in shaping policy and public opinion. The book also delves into the societal impacts of this shift, including widening economic inequality and the erosion of democratic institutions. Offering a blueprint for reform, it emphasizes the importance of grassroots movements, policy changes, and active citizen participation in restoring democratic balance and shaping a more equitable future.
