Book Synopsis
Takes a look into the premises and consequences of the long crusade against big money in politics. This book argues that our most common concerns about money in politics are misplaced, and that the chance to regulate money in politics actually allows representatives to serve their own interests at a cost to their constituents.

Trade Review
"As the federal government's size and intrusiveness grow, so does its attempt to regulate - ration, really - political speech about the government's composition and behavior. John Samples sees the menace of this through the prism of political philosophy. This book is a lucid and urgently needed warning about a growing assault on the First Amendment and the entire Madisonian understanding of American politics." - George F. Will"
