Billionaires, Inc. — Book I: Buying Access to Government examines how enormous private fortunes can influence access to political power. Following the money through presidential inaugural donations, federal contracts, technology companies, financial disclosures, media ownership, and government decisions, the authors explain how wealth and public authority have become increasingly intertwined.
Using public records and documented evidence, the book distinguishes established facts from allegations and political inference. It gives readers practical tools for investigating government contracts, corporate relationships, financial interests, and possible conflicts of interest. This carefully researched volume asks an urgent democratic question: When billionaires can purchase proximity to those in power, whose interests does the government truly serve?
