{"product_id":"the-foreign-policy-auction-9781470193560","title":"The Foreign Policy Auction","description":"U.S. foreign policy is being sold; not just altered, shifted, manipulated, or influenced - sold. Every single day the agents of foreign governments work to not only monitor U.S. foreign policy, but to actively change and even create it. They meet with policymakers, donate to their campaigns, write their speeches, and even write legislation. Yet, foreign lobbying garners scant attention, and no book has been written on the subject - until now. Ben Freeman, an expert on foreign influence in U.S. politics, goes inside the seedy underbelly of this half billion dollar foreign lobbying industry. Through exhaustive analysis he shows how foreign money infects the U.S. political process - systematically undermining U.S. foreign policy. The Foreign Policy Auction is an impassioned expose of an industry whose primary goal is bending U.S. politics to the will of foreign governments. It's a sobering realization of how foreign policy is actually made in the U.S. The Auction is open, how much will your government cost today?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Freeman Ph.
