I bought and read Jane Mayer's "Dark Money" book. It was a truly eye opening look into both the Koch family, and the how and where and why that the 1% is pouring money into the political system. Although the book focuses on the Koch family, several other prominent American billionaires are "outed" as either assisting the Kochs, or engaging in parallel ventures. If you want to understand how the 1% buys elections, and what they have to gain for their investment, you should read this book. If you think that you might be ok with certain candidates in the US presidential election, you should read this book.
It is the second most terrifying book I have read this year (the most terrifying was John Loftus' "America's Nazi Secret").
