The book delves into the intricacies of campaign finance, revealing how corporate donors manipulate the system for access to lawmakers. Through interviews with government relations officials, it uncovers the expectation of "access" in exchange for contributions, often leading to secretive deals that undermine the democratic process. Notably, a small number of wealthy donors provide a significant portion of campaign funds, highlighting the pervasive influence of money in politics. The authors advocate for comprehensive reforms to diminish the power of big money in elections.
