The Privatization of US Foreign Policy: An Interview with the Author of The Foreign Policy Auction

The Privatization of US Foreign Policy: An Interview with the Author of The Foreign Policy Auction
"The opening paragraph of Ben Freeman'sThe Foreign Policy Auction launches the reader on a fierce exposé of the massive yet relatively unknown foreign-influence industry, whose explicit goal is to bend US foreign policy to the will of foreign powers. Many of these lobbyists work for the type of rulers you don't want associating with your elected officials. More often than not, Freeman finds that the most money flows from the most repressive regimes, and it flows right into the pockets of our politicians."
