Join Sacramento Stanford alums as we discuss American Oligarchs: The Kushners, the Trumps, and the Marriage of Money and Power in which investigative journalist Andrea Bernstein tells the story of the Trump and Kushner families. This is a multigenerational saga of two families, who rose from immigrant roots to the pinnacle of wealth; a story of survival and loss, crime and betrayal, that stretches from the Klondike Gold Rush, through Nazi-occupied Poland and across the American Century, to our new gilded age. 

Drawing on more than two hundred interviews and more than one hundred thousand pages of documents, many previously unseen or long forgotten, Bernstein creates a compelling narrative that details how the Trump and Kushner dynasties encouraged and profited from a system of corruption, dark money, and influence trading, and reveals the historical turning points and decisions―on taxation, regulation, white-collar crime, and campaign finance laws that have brought us to where we are today.
