How much does money really matter in American politics? A
first-of-its-kind reference book, this encyclopedia provides the
most up-to-date research and analysis regarding how money affects
American campaigns, elections, politics, and public policy. Some
Americans have come to the conclusion that U.S. politics is
dominated by money, that politicians are frequently if not
routinely "bought and paid for," and that the only entities who
wield political power are America's monied "elite" or powerful
special interests like "big labor" or "Wall Street." But other
American citizens believe that proposals to limit the influence of
money in politics run counter to the free speech principles
enshrined in the Constitution. This book will explores this
compelling and controversial issue, examining where money in
American politics comes from, where it goes, and the impact of all
of those millions of dollars on American society. The entries
objectively cover a breadth of major issues, organizations,
individuals, court cases, and controversies surrounding the role of
money in American politics, especially into the most recent events
of the 21st century. Commentary by leading experts and scholars on
American politics assess different aspects of how money is used for
political purposes. The book explains the current state of
knowledge about money in politics, including whether contributions
and expenditures should be regulated; if so, how; and whether it
even matters in terms of impact. While intended and written
primarily for students at the high school and undergraduate levels,
Money in American Politics: An Encyclopedia will also be of
interest to general readers and experts looking to better
understand how money affects campaigns, elections, and the making
of law and policy in the United States.
