This chapter explores the profound impact of corporate lobbying and big-money interests on American politics, emphasizing the imbalance between individual political agency and the power of wealth. It discusses the implications of the Citizens United decision, which allows billionaires to dominate elections through unlimited spending, undermining democracy.
