Kochland: The Secret History of Koch Industries and Corporate Power in America – Christopher Leonard

Description

What does it look like when a single private company accumulates enough wealth, political influence, and corporate power to reshape an entire nation? Kochland by Christopher Leonard, the New York Times Bestseller and Finalist for the Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year, is the most comprehensive, meticulously researched, and genuinely explosive investigative account ever written about Koch Industries — one of the largest, most powerful, and most secretive private companies on earth — and the extraordinary, troubling story of how corporate power truly operates in modern America.

Drawing on hundreds of interviews and years of deep investigative reporting, Leonard pulls back the curtain on Charles Koch’s empire — revealing how Koch Industries built its extraordinary wealth through aggressive trading strategies, ruthless labour practices, calculated political investment, and a decades-long campaign to shape American policy, regulation, and public opinion in its favour. For Kenyan readers — economists, business students, political science readers, journalists, and anyone who wants to understand how real corporate power actually works at the highest levels — this book is a riveting, important, and deeply illuminating masterclass in capitalism, politics, and the hidden machinery of wealth.

What this book covers:

• The complete secret history of Koch Industries — from its modest origins to a global corporate powerhouse
• How Charles Koch built one of America’s most politically influential private empires
• The aggressive business strategies, legal battles, and political investments that drove Koch Industries’ growth
