Corporatocracy How to Protect Democracy from Dark Money and Corrupt Politicians

Professor Ciara Torres-Spelliscy (Professor of Law at Stetson University) will discuss her new book, Corporatocracy, which looks at the January 6th, 2021, insurrection through the lens of money in politics. It examines past and present campaign finance scandals, including the rise of autocracies, which illustrate the risk of corporate political spending and dark money. It encourages average Americans to use their vote and pocketbooks to incentivize pro-democracy behavior by politicians and corporations.
