Book Preview:

#1 The American people are deeply divided about one thing: the belief that Washington is rife with government corruption. The concern over widespread corruption is growing.

#2 The new form of corruption in Washington involves large sums of money that are being funneled to the families and friends of politicians who are making influential decisions that affect everything from national security to our standard of living.

#3 Offshore corruption is when politicians move the location of the deal, the entities, and the players involved, abroad. This allows them to avoid public scrutiny and accountability for the selling of influence.

#4 Proxy corruption is when a person or entity provides something of value to a politician in exchange for something else, usually access to the politician’s power. This is the most common form of corruption, and it is dangerous because it makes politicians susceptible to overseas financial pressure.
