The public believes that politicians in the US favor special
interests over their constituents and that our political
institutions have become corrupt-and they are right. A growing body
of evidence shows that special interests have disproportionate sway
over policy via campaign contributions and lobbying. In this book,
the author presents this evidence in a logical, understandable way;
he then illustrates how campaign contributions harm our economy,
exacerbate inequality, and undermine our democracy. One of the most
startling findings of the book is that campaign contributions led
to the Financial Crisis and Great Recession. The author concludes
that campaign contributions have effectively created an oligarchy
in the US, and, thus, reform is needed to save our democracy. The
final chapter of the book suggests a number of different reforms
that could be pursued-and highlights some ways in which these
reforms can be achieved.
