A U.S. senator, leading the fight against money in politics, chronicles the long shadow corporate power has cast over our democracyIn Captured, U.S. Senator and former federal prosecutor Sheldon Whitehouse offers an eyeopening take on what corporate influence looks like today from the Senate Floor, adding a firsthand perspective to Jane Mayer's Dark Money.Americans know something is wrong in their government. Senator Whitehouse combines history, legal scholarship, and personal experiences to provide the first handson, comprehensive explanation of what's gone wrong, exposing multiple avenues through which our government has been infiltrated and disabled by corporate powers. Captured reveals an original oversight by the Founders, and shows how and why corporate power has exploited that vulnerability: to strike fear in elected representatives who don't get right by threatening milliondollar 'dark money' election attacks (a threat more effective and less expensive than the actual attack); to stack the judiciaryeven the Supreme Courtin 'businessfriendly' ways; to 'capture the administrative agencies meant to regulate corporate behavior; to undermine the civil jury, the Constitution's last bastion for ordinary citizens; and to create a corporate 'alternate reality' on public health and safety issues like climate change.Captured shows that in this centurieslong struggle between corporate power and individual liberty, we can and must take our American government back into our own hands.
