The story is as it's titled. Billionaires take over the Republican Party, then take over the government.
Plutocracy: government by the wealthy, for the wealthy.
But there's an interesting spin on it. The voters assent to it.
It was hard to get through at times. It's a little too factual. At times, it's a pretty dry description of the mechanics of how the rich get the public to agree with their point of view. The problem is beyond the facts. You can't just expose what's going on and then it stops.
It's an important subject but this book was not the best way to get at the root of the problem.
