And these groups often see themselves as a private army of regulators working shoulder-to-shoulder with government ones.

Staff lawyers for the environmental group the Natural Resources Defense Council, says Laksin, describe their job as, "We're the shadow EPA; we make the EPA do its job."

Bizarre as it is to contemplate the fortunes of supercharged capitalists like Rockefeller, Carnegie and Ford being used to fight capitalism, isn't pointing this out merely conservative whining? Surely everyone is entitled to spend their money promoting whatever message they please.

Correct, says Laksin. But these foundations' tax-exempt status depends on their being nonpartisan. He mentions that the head of Pew Trusts, Rebeca Rimmel, recently complained that the book falsely portrays Pew as a partisan group. "That's demonstrably false," Laksin says. "Pew Trusts spends millions funding radical environmental groups like Earth Justice and anarchist Ruckus Society. If that's non-partisan, then the term has no meaning. Foundations should be upfront about their political agendas." And lose their tax-exempt status.

It was free-market apostle Adam Smith who said, "People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public."

Wary of business today, regulators observe it closely. But the blob of regulation, with its ability to draw on the public purse, the private foundations and its close relationship with like-minded media, grows by the day.
