Master Plan uncovers the hidden history of how unrestrained money and influence have transformed the United States into a full-fledged kleptocracy - where policy is bought, elections are manipulated, and corruption operates in plain sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the award-winning investigative podcast from The Lever, journalist David Sirota and producer Jared Jacang Maher trace this blueprint back to a little-known memo written by future Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell. With newly unearthed documents and gripping storytelling, they reveal how this manifesto became a roadmap for dismantling democracy - one that corporate leaders implemented at secret meetings in places like Disney World, that inspired wealthy anti-government radicals like Joseph Coors to fund the Heritage Foundation, and that paved the way for operatives like Roger Ailes to build Fox News. From Nixon's Watergate cover-up to the Citizens United ruling and today's dark-money super PACs, Master Plan exposes the calculated efforts to use wealth to control political leaders and legalize corruption at every level of government.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the 2024 election marking the most expensive in U.S. history, the Supreme Court enabling corruption, and billionaires openly seizing government functions, this book arrives at a crucial moment.
