Why read it?
1 author picked Evil Geniuses as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In his characteristically funny and sardonic style, Andersen guides us through the historical connection between corporate America and the Republican Party. Needless to say, the relationship has been strong and fruitful (Democrats are guilty as well, but it’s hardly a comparison).

It is a remarkable story of power and greed written in concise witty prose. Highly recommend!
From Bill's list on to understand the American political system.
