| WHAT: |
Money's power to shape political decisions is front and center in the 2012 presidential election. In the wake of Citizens United, does the growing electoral power of corporations, mega-donors and unions undermine the public interest, or simply increase the public visibility of candidates' messages and influence? What are the long-term implications for our political culture and public policy? And what are the prospects for meaningful change? The New School's Center for New York City Affairs presents a panel discussion exploring what's next for American politics. |
