Koch Industries. “Capitalism for their own,” or how power was built in America. Leonard K.

This is a brilliant journalistic investigation dedicated to one of the most powerful family corporations in America - Koch Industries. Her annual revenue is greater than Goldman Sachs, Facebook and US Steel combined, and the condition of its owners - the Koch brothers - leaves far behind Bill Gates. Its products surround you everywhere: on the fertilizers of Koch Industries, fruits and vegetables that you buy in a supermarket are grown, your bathroom papes are laid, from the synthetic materials of Koch, diapers for your children are made.

But why is it so little known about Koch Industries and its founders? Why do millionaire brothers prefer to keep their success in the strictest secrecy? Is it because this story has another, unsightly side?

Charles Koch is a brilliant businessman and a ruthless destroyer. For half a century, he controls Koch Industries, systematically violating the law and gradually increasing its influence on Washington. Thanks to the powerful lobby, he managed to “buy” the position of Congress on climate and “bury” the bill to control carbon dioxide emissions, as well as initiative on renewable fuel types.

In his honest and painstaking work, Christopher Leonard shows many facts how everything that was great for Koch Industries became a disaster for America. This is not just a story about an influential company - it is a truly dramatic story of a citizen Kane of our time!
