Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends / Peter Schweizer

[Read by Charles Constant]

Corruption has created a crisis of confidence in our government. In recent surveys, three out of four Americans believe that there is ''widespread government corruption,'' and only nineteen percent of the American people trust the federal government to do the right thing.

New York Times bestselling author Peter Schweizer has been fighting this scourge. In Throw Them All Out he exposed insider trading on the stock market by members of congress, leading to the passage of the STOCK act. In Extortion, he exposed how politicians use mafia-like tactics to enrich themselves. And in Clinton Cash, he revealed the Clintons' massive money machine. Now, he turns his investigations towards a new way that politicians take advantage of their offices.

Filled with deep research and shocking revelations, his newest book exposes the hidden schemes of some of America's most famous and respected politicians.
