Twilight of Democracy, Democracy for Sale Peter Geoghegan 2 Books Set

Titles in this set:\nTwilight of Democracy\nDemocracy for Sale Dark Money and Dirty Politics.\n\nTwilight of Democracy \nIn the years just before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, people from across the political spectrum in Europe and America celebrated a great achievement, felt a common purpose and, very often, forged personal friendships. Yet over the following decades the euphoria evaporated, the common purpose and centre ground gradually disappeared, extremism rose once more and eventually - as this book compellingly relates - the relationships soured too.\nDemocracy for Sale Dark Money and Dirty Politics:\nPoliticians lie gleefully, making wild claims that can be shared instantly with millions of people on social media. Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, Jair Bolsonaro and populists in many other countries are the beneficiaries. Peter Geoghegan is a diligent, brilliant guide through a shadowy world of dark money and digital disinformation stretching from Westminster to Wash.
