Evil Geniuses

"Evil Geniuses" by Kurt Andersen explores how a secret coalition of influential figures over the past fifty years has shifted America’s focus from national progress to a system driven by profit and self-interest for the few. The book details the behind-the-scenes efforts of think tanks, political groups, and wealthy industrialists to reshape politics, media, and the legal system, ultimately consolidating power in the hands of the super-rich. With thorough research and engaging storytelling, it uncovers the intricate networks behind America’s economic and cultural transformation and considers paths toward reclaiming a progressive future.
