The System by Barry Eisler

Forums:

If you want to know how our Gov't works, then you might want to read this book. It is a novel by Barry Eisler (who was a CIA operative). It's about how  big money controls congress(and everything else).  

I'm sure it's a good book, but do we really need a book to help us understand that big money controls everything?

I thought that was already pretty obvious.

Thanks, Mark. 

Robert Reich's memoir "Coming Up Short" was also quite revealing as to the chances missed to create a better society. Good book.
