The book examines the dynamics driving the countrys deeply troubled political culture and highlights reforms needed in the post-Trump era to strengthen US democracy. The author paints a clear and sobering portrait of a mercenary election industry and its support structure tailored to perpetuate and exploit America's social and political division. He shows how corrosive partisan animosity, dysfunctional political institutions, and even Trumpism are symptoms of a broken system dominated by a self-serving party duopoly. Having hacked the democratic process for its own ends, the cartels intrigues continue to undermine functional compromise and the virtues essential for self-governance. Without timely structural reform outlined in the narrative, Politics Inc., abetted by technological, social, and cultural factors, will continue to undermine the country from the far right and far left. The stakes could not be higher. At risk is the nations security and the future of democracy at home and around the globe.

[ T]his is a thorough accounting of the fault lines in American democracy. -- Publishers Weekly John Raidt weaves a life of extensive experience in government and politics with a deep insight to dissect and analyze the causes of dysfunction in the American political system. But he doesnt just give us a litany of the problems confronting us, but offers concrete, tangible solutions to these problems. This is a must read for anyone committed to preserving the American experiment in democracy. -- Jim Kolbe, Congressman Raidt demonstrates that political reform is vital to national security and the cause of freedom. He has made a significant contribution to the reform debate and a compelling roadmap for ensuring Americas unity, strength, and leadership in a world where its needed more than ever. -- Joseph Lieberman, Senator Comprehensive and insightful, Politics Inc. is for anyone who wants to better understand the systemic forces endangering American democracy and what to do about it. John Raidt offers a manifesto for reform transcending party and partisanship so that we can pass to our children a stronger, better, and more united countrywhat my husband called a cause greater than ourselves. -- Cindy McCain
