Summary:
"In 1785, Louis XVI presented
Benjamin
Franklin
with a
snuff
box
encrusted with diamonds and inset with the King'
s
portrait. Americans believed it threatened to 'corrupt'
Franklin
by altering his attitude toward the French in subtle psychological ways. In 2010, one of the most consequential Court decisions in American political history gave wealthy corporations the right to spend unlimited money to influence elections. With unlimited spending transforming American politics for the worse, warns Teachout, if the American experiment in self-government is to have a future, then we must revive the traditional meaning of
corruption
and embrace an old ideal."--From publisher.
