Opis

A voluntary public funding system for political campaigns is necessary to reverse the trend toward income inequality.

Recenzje

"It is difficult to find two political issues that generate more heat than economic globalization and campaign finance. In this book Jay Mandle (Colgate University) combines the two topics in a thought-provoking manner....The contributions of the book are twofold. First, it unites two heretofore separate research areas in a lively and interesting fashion...Second, it provides an ancillary text book for lower division courses in American politics that will generate considerable classroom discussion. Students will appreciate the lively and concise writing style and the provocative arguments that Mandle makes throughout the book. This book is highly recommended for faculty looking for such an ancillary text."
