      Summary of Dark Money - Instaread Summaries

      Overview

      Dark Money by Jane Mayer profiles the wealthy donors who have funded and established organizations to promote libertarian ideals, particularly the brothers Charles and David Koch. They and their two other brothers were raised by parents who promoted free-market capitalism and were suspicious of anything related or sympathetic to Communism. The four Koch brothers inherited portions of their father’s oil business, and later Charles and David conspired to buy out their other brothers’ portions of the company.

They were joined in efforts to establish and fund organizations, private foundations, and think tanks to support libertarian causes by other wealthy business people. They also collaborated to create and support capitalism-friendly curricula at US universities.

      The Koch brothers and their colleagues disparaged government health and safety regulations while fighting against regulators who alleged that their businesses endangered employees’ lives through exposure to mercury, benzene, and other contaminants, resulting in million-dollar settlements.

Some of these connections link the Kochs’ network to the organizations that promoted the Tea Party movement in the late 2000s. They particularly pushed activists to adopt free-market positions on environmental and healthcare issues, using
