Easily, one of the best and the most important books that I have read this year.

It isn’t just a biography, over its mammoth width – this book is a fine work of investigative journalism. Lobbying, Oil, Labor relations, derivatives-trading, Fracking, Capitalism – more than these ideas, it is a journey of a man at the center of all this – Charles Koch.

He is an opportunistic libertarian fanatic! And nothing is more dangerous than a dangerous idea that is sown in the ground for years and decades at a time, as it spreads its root deep within to create a redwood leviathan.

A patient man who shakes the world, and then profits from all the volatility.
