Produktbeschreibung

A comprehensive account of the first Trump administration's efforts to destroy our government institutions, and what we can do before it's too late

Demolition Agenda presents chilling details of what happened to health science, environmental science, and consumer protection agencies when President Donald J. Trump put his 'best people' in charge. Forbes Magazine

In the wake of a return to Trump-era governance, what Forbes Magazine calls the wealth of solid information to be found in Thomas O. McGarity's Demolition Agenda is more urgent than ever. Now available in a revised and updated edition, this groundbreaking work offers a comprehensive look at how the first Trump administration systematically dismantled the country's regulatory agencies, exposing Americans to greater risks while empowering corporate interests.

From Scott Pruitt's corruption scandal at the EPA to Elaine Chao's weakening of transportation safety measures, and Ryan Zinke's stint as secretary of the interior before he faced eighteen federal inquiries and was fired (and let's not forget Rick Perry, Betsy DeVos, Sonny Perdue, Andrew Puzder . . . the list goes on), McGarity writes authoritatively and with revealing detail (Ralph Nader) about the abuses of power that defined the first Trump administration. A new preface and a new final chapter tell us what to expect in round two . . . and how to protect ourselves from the demolition agenda.
