" Residents are fleeing the Golden State in droves, the state's homelessness crisis is the worst in the country, drug-related deaths are skyrocketing, and violent crime and smash-and-grab retail theft in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles are now commonplace. For too many across the state, pursuing the Californian Dream is now a fool's errand. But what people don't know is what's driving these failures, why California's leaders have allowed them to spiral and how this contagion could spread to every other city and town in the United States if it isn't exposed for what it is: failed far-left social experiments. From the investigative research team behind Peter Schweizer's runaway bestsellers comes Fool's Gold, a hard-hitting work of journalism that tells the untold story of the dark side of the Democratic Party's Californian elites and the toll they've taken on the entire country. One of Schweizer's top investigators, Jedd McFatter, has teamed up with award-winning investigative journalist Susan Crabtree to expose the most powerful names in politics: Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Adam Schiff, among others." -- Publisher's annotation
