Ep. 2: Can Money Buy Elections? (with John Samples)
Channel: Libertarianism.org
Date: 05/06/2014

In this episode, Aaron Powell and Trevor Burrus look at the relationship between money and political speech. Campaign finance is a perennial issue, but much of the argument about it rests on often unexamined assumptions. Is money speech? If it is, can we still restrict its role in politics? If it isn't, what's its relation to political speech? What does it mean to say elections can be corrupted by too much speech?

They are joined by John Samples, director of Cato's Center for Representative Government, and author of "The Fallacy of Campaign Finance Reform."
