Unfree Speech: The Folly of Campaign Finance ReformPrinceton University Press, 09.02.2009 - 320 Seiten At a time when campaign finance reform is widely viewed as synonymous with cleaning up Washington and promoting political equality, Bradley Smith, a nationally recognized expert on campaign finance reform, argues that all restriction on campaign giving should be eliminated.
