À propos de ce contenu audio
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY FOREIGN AFFAIRS
From the acclaimed author of The Power Worshippers, “an indispensable citizen’s guide to the anti-democratic MAGA Right.” —Congressman Jamie Raskin
“An eerily prescient guide to the phantasmagoria of our political moment.” —Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times
"Meticulously researched, elegantly written, and hard-hitting."–Kristin Kobes Du Mez
Why have so many Americans turned against democracy? In this deeply reported book, Katherine Stewart takes us to conferences of conspiracy-mongers, backroom strategy gatherings, and services at extremist churches, and profiles the people who want to tear it all down. She introduces us to reactionary Catholic activists, atheist billionaires, pseudo-Platonist intellectuals, self-appointed apostles of Jesus, disciples of Ayn Rand, women-hating opponents of “the gynocracy,” pronatalists preoccupied with the dearth of white babies, Covid truthers, militia members masquerading as “concerned moms,” and battalions of spirit warriors who appear to be inventing a new style of religion even as they set about attacking democracy at its foundations.
Along the way, she provides a compelling analysis of the authoritarian reaction in the United States. She demonstrates that the movement relies on several distinct constituencies, with very different and often conflicting agendas. Stewart’s reporting and comprehensive political analysis helps reframe the conversation about the moral collapse of conservatism in America and points the way toward a democratic future.

An eerily prescient guide to the phantasmagoria of our political moment . . . Money, Lies, and God covers a lot of terrain, but it’s Stewart’s exploration of right-wing ideas that makes her book stand out . . . Books like hers function not as weapons but as maps, navigating a way around the edges of the abyss. (Jennifer Szalai)
Organized, clear, and compelling . . . journalism of the highest order . . . an important book and it couldn’t appear at a more opportune time.
Among the dozens of books that have attempted to identify the forces that Trump rode to power, this is one of the most closely reported and cogent. (Jessica T. Mathews)
[Stewart's] eyewitness account is riveting and will terrify anyone who believes in democratic governance . . . a compelling read.
Stewart’s fine-grained and eye-opening investigation meticulously outlines the loose organizational structure that keeps these strange bedfellows banded together . . . offers urgently needed background on the 2024 election results.
An in-depth look at the chief strands that make up the American far right . . . An impassioned takedown of a ‘militant minority.'
The author of The Power Worshippers, a comprehensive look at the rise of Christian nationalism, widens her scope with this follow-up about the modern far right — an often contradictory group that includes conspiracy theorists, religious extremists, atheist billionaires, meme accounts and mommy militias who have fallen into lock step under the banner of MAGA.
Money, Lies, and God provides a compelling overview as well as meticulous research about the funders, leaders, and foot soldiers of religious nationalism . . . [Stewart] brilliantly explores how right-wing think tanks like the Claremont Institute provide a veneer of intellectual respectability to the movement.
A bracing must-read story of how the varied streams have merged into a mighty river moving toward massive destruction—and explains to readers how together, we can divert it.
Katherine Stewart has written what may be the most important political book of the day, exposing the networks of dark money funded, ultra right-wing subversives who have already done enormous damage to our Constitution and the rule of law and are now perilously close to overthrowing the American government as we know it. With persuasive precision and undeniable documentation, Stewart names and connects the dots, refusing to normalize the frighteningly abnormal, confronting powerful forces that too few reporters comprehend, let alone describe.
