Democracy by the People: Reforming Campaign Finance in America
Cambridge University Press. Published in October 2018. With Professor Timothy K. Kuhner of the Faculty of Law at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
Thanks to a series of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, corporations can now spend unlimited sums to influence elections, Super PACs and dark money groups are flourishing, and wealthy individuals and special interests increasingly dominate American politics. Despite the overwhelming support of most Americans to fix this broken system, serious efforts at reform have languished. It doesn't help that campaign finance happens to be a highly intricate and complex area of the law, and that the system works to promote the interests the incumbent politicians who oversee it. This illuminating book takes these hard realities as a starting point and offers realistic solutions to reform campaign finance in the United States. With contributions from more than a dozen leading scholars of election law, it should be read by anyone interested in reclaiming the promise of American democracy.
