Following the money behind U.S. elections for both parties and culminating in Donald Trump's return to the White House in 2024, this book exposes how billionaires, corporations, religious networks, foreign-linked interests, and political intermediaries convert wealth into influence on an unprecedented scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Moving beyond campaign slogans and culture wars, this investigation traces how political donations, dark money, Super PACs, lobbying, and personal enrichment reshape policy, regulation, and governance itself. From cabinet appointments and legislation to enforcement decisions and national security, money's reach extends far beyond the ballot box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e At its core, \u003cem\u003e The Price of Political Power\u003c\/em\u003e asks a troubling question: what happens to democracy when political power is increasingly bought, sold, and shielded from accountability? In an era echoing America's original Gilded Age, this book reveals how the costs of elite enrichment are ultimately borne by the public, and why understanding the flow of political money is essential to reclaiming democratic control. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lesley Gregory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1764025040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781764025041\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e L.
