Reading Politics with the New Republic: Plutocracy in America

Special interest spending is wreaking havoc on our politics. How can we fight for a democracy that works for everyone? Authors Tim WuMatt Stoller, and Ganesh Sitaraman, political activist Lawrence Lessig, NY Gubernatorial candidate Zephyr Teachout, and more, debate how we can reform the system.

In partnership with:

It so often seems that the pursuit of extreme wealth is the only driving force in Congress and the White House. Americans organize for social justice, climate awareness, and myriad other political issues, just to come up against the same nebulous powers again and again. Our panel gathers to tackle the problem. This solution-oriented group has first hand experience in fighting plutocracy and will share its experience by addressing how campaigns are financed, the struggle for antitrust laws in the 21st century, and the role the middle class will have in pushing for economic equality.
