Scholars’ Circle – Financing US Political Campaigns by Super Rich ; Civil War by Other Means, unresolved politics continues today – November 20, 2022
Americans in polls consistently cite the nature of campaign financing as perhaps the greatest threat to democracy. And increasingly, candidates self-finance. In the LA Mayor’s race alone, billionaire developer Rick Caruso spent at least $100 million of his own fortune. What legal issues does this sort of financing raise? What does it mean for candidate quality? In what ways does it challenge and potentially undermine democracy?
Followed by, the book we are discussing today, Civil War by Other Means: America's Long and Unfinished Fight For Democracy with it's author Jeremi Suri. He is the Professor in the Department of History and the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, Austin.
