This book contends that the US government has become fully subverted by a wealthy elite who have used their influence to capture the nation's political institutions, effectively establishing themselves as an unelected ruling class. The author cites the co-option of official statistics as a key mechanism by which this elite perpetuates its control, with statistics routinely falsified to obscure the true extent of social and economic inequality. This book examines numerous instances of statistical deception across a range of government agencies and reports, offering an eye-opening account of the ways in which facts have been distorted to create the illusion of progress and prosperity, while the interests of ordinary citizens have been neglected. The book's meticulously detailed examples and rigorous analysis provide a powerful indictment of the corrupting influence of concentrated wealth on the integrity of American governance.
