Capitalism v. Democracy: Money in Politics and the Free Market Constitution - Timothy Kuhner

As of the latest national elections, it costs approximately $1 billion to become president, $10 million to become a Senator, and $1 million to become a Member of the House. High-priced campaigns, an elite class of donors and spenders, superPACs, and increasing corporate political power have become the new normal in American politics. In Capitalism v. Democracy, Timothy Kuhner explains how these conditions have corrupted American democracy, turning it into a system of rule that favors the wealthy and marginalizes ordinary citizens. Kuhner maintains that these conditions have corrupted capitalism as well, routing economic competition through political channels and allowing politically powerful companies to evade market forces. The Supreme Court has brought about both forms of corruption by striking down campaign finance reforms that limited the role of money in politics. Exposing the extreme economic worldview that pollutes constitutional interpretation, Kuhner shows how the Court became the architect of American plutocracy.
Capitalism v. Democracy offers the key to understanding why corporations are now citizens, money is political speech, limits on corporate spending are a form of censorship, democracy is a free market, and political equality and democratic integrity are unconstitutional constraints on money in politics. Supreme Court opinions have dictated these conditions in the name of the Constitution, as though the Constitution itself required the privatization of democracy. Kuhner explores the reasons behind these opinions, reveals that they form a blueprint for free market democracy, and demonstrates that this design corrupts both politics and markets. He argues that nothing short of a constitutional amendment can set the necessary boundaries between capitalism and democracy.

Some business schmo gives money to a random republican: AUTISTIC SHRIEKING ABOUT MONEY IN POLICES!!
Hard data released about tens of millions of dollars being funneling through the Clinton foundation and the funding of ISIS through it: *silence*
Yes, please tell me more about your wonderful thoughts on money in politics. I’m sure that totally won’t be another partisan hack job aimed at the regressive left’s anti capitalists fantasies.

Appreciate your work BS.
If you’ve bothered to comment on a book I can rely it’s one that will interest me.
Many thanks.

@TruthBeatsyourBS: you’re completely correct in your assessments. Too bad some snowflakes and pajama boys refuse to hear the truth!

Would be nice to get of this goddamn anti-Western, anti-white, anti-capitalist sh*t trip we’ve been locked into.

This is a fantastic topic that needs much discussion today as Fascism sweeps the world and Capitalism crumbles in the wake of the global credit reset and the rise of AI. This is much much bigger than the industrial revolution. Everything is going to change.
