Secret Empires

In 'Secret Empires', Peter Schweizer delves into the new forms of corruption involving large sums of money, particularly focusing on how the children and close associates of powerful politicians profit from their connections.

The book highlights cases involving prominent political families, including those of Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Kerry, and Mitch McConnell.

Schweizer argues that this 'corruption by proxy' is a significant issue, where family members and friends of politicians benefit financially without full disclosure.

The book is deeply researched and provides a critical look at the lack of accountability in the American political system.
