The Best Democracy Money Can Buy

File under: FinishedReading

I was reading this one during my trip to Vietnam and Thailand last year: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy: An Investigative Reporter Exposes the Truth about Corporate Cons, Globalization, and High-Finance Fraudsters by Greg Palast. It made me so mad I almost didn't want to come back. It should be required reading for all citizens of the United States.

Greg Palast does a rare thing in these days: actual investigative journalism. He uses the same methods as private investigators to uncover the truth. And the truth is as ugly as you fear it is.
