We discuss the transformation of free market capitalism into a techno-winner-take-all system.

Both of these have increased economic inequality, which causes political inequality and threatens democracy.

We discuss how the SpeechNow v. FEC decision in 2010 created Super PACs and how combating corruption in American politics starts with getting rid of Super PACs.

We discuss the intersection of policymaking on economics and democracy, the harm of intense concentration of wealth, and the need for building durable civil society.

We discuss  the corrupting effect of the Citizens United decision on policymaking and elections.
