The 'one percent' has been providing an ever larger share of US election campaign funds since the 1980s. Well over half of the money contributed to the presidential race in 2015 came from only about 350 families. One-fourth of it came from just 78 donors, all of whom made contributions of $1 million or more. So can we still say America is a democracy if a few hundred rich families provide such disproportionate shares of campaign funds? This book explains the larger debate about how Americans want their democracy to work.
