Corruption in America : from Benjamin Franklin's snuff box to Citizens United / Zephyr Teachout. by Teachout, Zephyr. Harvard University Press, 2014. Call #: 364.1323 T253c Subjects Political corruption -- United States -- History.   Judicial corruption -- United States -- History.   Political culture -- United States.   United States -- Politics and government -- Moral and ethical aspects. ISBN:  9780674050402 0674050401 Description:  viii, 376 p. ; 22 cm Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 313-358) and index. 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.
