Title: Money Rules
Description: "The role of money in the U.S. electoral process has become more and more controversial in recent years. Following the Buckley ruling and other legislation in 1996, candidates and political parties are free to raise virtually unlimited "soft" money, making money perhaps the most significant factor in a campaign's success.

In Money Rules, Anthony Gierzynski theorizes that, under our current system of financing elections, our political process has tilted too far in favor of political freedom, at the expense of political equality. Gierzynski examines the historical roots of the campaign-finance dilemma; demonstrate's its effects on the local, state, and national levels; and projects the long-term outcomes for American politics."--BOOK JACKET.
