Corruption in America

From Benjamin Franklin鈥檚 Snuff Box to Citizens United

Teachout Book

“Teachout鈥檚 beautifully written and powerful book exposes a simple but profound error at the core of the Supreme Court鈥檚 McCutcheon v. FEC decision. The originalists on the Court forgot their history. This is that history鈥昦nd eventually it will provide the basis for reversing the Court鈥檚 critical error.”

By聽Lawrence Lessig, author of Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress鈥昦nd a Plan to Stop It

鈥淐orruption in America鈥 shows that it is possible to establish and maintain governmental institutions that shield us from our worst instincts. This was the goal of Madison and his peers, and it could still be achieved with a better public-election finance system, which could be constitutional under Citizens United if the system did not restrict private donations.”

By聽Max Ehrenfreund, reporter for the Washington Post

“A book that merits the large readership it may get …聽Teachout鈥檚 narrative spans the history of the United States from its beginnings through Chief Justice John Roberts鈥檚 decision in McCutcheon v. FEC, less than six months ago.”

By聽Scott McLemee, Inside Higher Ed
