商品簡介
This examination of US campaign finance reform is written to be accessible to scholars, students, and even non-experts with some background knowledge of US politics. The authors reveal the results of an original study of data from 50 states and Congress over the past 20 years, showing that wealthy donors have inordinate financial impact on political campaigns, leading to ideological polarization in state legislatures. The authors recommend campaign donations to political parties rather than individual candidates; however, they also argue for less regulation. A web site contains all data from the authors’ research.
