Dollars and Votes: How Business Campaign Contributions Subvert Democracy

Meer over het boek

Campaign finance reform is critically examined through in-depth interviews with corporate "government relations" officials, revealing the intricate dynamics of access and influence in politics. The authors highlight how substantial donations, particularly from a small group of wealthy contributors, secure not just meetings but also secretive deals that undermine democratic processes. They argue for a systemic overhaul to diminish the power of big money in politics, moving beyond scandal-focused reforms to create a more equitable campaign financing system.
