The Origins of Corruption in American Politics
Corruption in American politics is rooted in a secret scheme that emerged in the 1970s, which allowed the wealthy to manipulate the system for their own benefit. This situation has been exacerbated by a lack of accountability and transparency, enabling powerful interests to influence policy decisions without facing public scrutiny. Guest insights and previously unreleased documents reveal the mechanisms by which money and politics intertwine, leading to an erosion of democratic principles. Understanding this historical context is crucial for identifying paths to reform and combating the entrenched corruption that persists today.
