Introduction

'Follow the money' seems like a pretty common phrase in movies these days.

But did you know that it actually came from 'Deep Throat,' the FBI informant who identified a way to find corrupt politicians?

Learn all about their origins, methods, and impacts in Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right, written by investigative journalist and The New Yorker writer, Jane Mayer.
