Title: Sold to the Highest Bidder
Subtitle: The Presidency from Dwight D. Eisenhower to George W. Bush
Description: "The growing disparity between rich and poor, the corrupting influence of money on politics, and the rise of mass media run by monied corporate interests virtually guarantee that elections - and the policies of the representatives selected by them - will favor the wealthy few over the poor and middle-class majority. Friedenberg offers real solutions to the problems facing the American election system, including a new focus on improved education for all to narrow the widening gap between rich and poor.

He also explains how the vast technological resources unleashed by the computer revolution can be used to create a more equitable American future."--BOOK JACKET.
