The Money and the Power


A seminal book for understanding the sinister alliance among the government, the power elite, and organized crime is Sally Denton and Roger Morris’ The Money and the Power: The Making of Las Vegas and Its Hold on America. LRC contributor DC Dave (David Martin) has authored an extremely insightful new review of this volume, where he discusses the contemporary roles of Harry Reid and Donald Trump in this unfolding drama of drug trafficking, racketeering, money laundering, commercialized sex, extortion, and corruption.
