The purpose of this study is to gain a deeper understanding of the causes, trends, prevention, and impacts of money politics. This research approach uses a systematic literature review, collecting data by understanding and reviewing theories from various literature related to research. The results of the study, money politics in Indonesia is detrimental to both parties, violates democratic norms, and is difficult to prosecute. To combat money politics and improve the integrity of democracy and public trust, it is necessary to improve regulation and supervision and modernize the election process. Economic reasons, cultural norms, political power, lack of political education, and inadequate supervision can all have an impact on money politics. Money politics undermines democracy in Indonesia by encouraging injustice, corruption, and declining public trust. Exorbitant election costs further exacerbate political corruption, reduce fair representation, and increase the likelihood of clientelism, all of which undermine moral principles and democratic standards.
