"Capitalism, as a socio-economic system, is threatening both our human and spiritual survival and yet we remain in denial," warns the author." Like anorexics, we look in the mirror but refuse to recognize what we are doing to ourselves and our planet. Spiritually capitalism is a totally amoral system but our purportedly Christian nation raises no concerted protest against its incredibly corrupting effect on ourselves and children." Capitalism, he maintains, does not concern itself with morality: it is focused on profits. Blumenfeld devotes the first half of his book to examine why capitalism and democracy are basically incompatible. The litany of capitalism's devastating effects are becoming well known, although his condemnation of the corrupting impact of money on the democratic process is chilling. In the second half the author contends that there is an alternative, that if we want to prolong our existence on this planet we must turn to a less-abrasive and truly democratic system based on cooperation rather than one predicated on greed and competition. "Yorick Blumenfeld should be invited to every TV chat show on the planet. He could teach the world to sing...He says we should try to enhance the charms of life in the 21st Century with 'joy and laughter and a good measure of civility.' Clear the TV schedules now. Make lots of room for Yorick Blumenfeld." --- Michael Thompson-Noel, The Financial Times. "We are not the captives of capitalism. We do have a democratic choice. We have it within our power to change the economy to suit our needs without resorting to violence or coercion. But this demands careful thinking, vigorous discussion and debate, followed by planning and decisionmaking. This book offers you choices, not destiny." From the conclusion of Dollars or Democracy.

Our federal campaign finance system is in a state of disarray. The current regulatory scheme is not curbing, and may be abetting, the enormous increase in campaign contributions and expenditures. The enormous influence of major campaign donors on the process of government is a growing cause of national concern. The Special Commission of The Association of the Bar of the City of New York has spent the past two years studying the current system and developing a blueprint for reform. Composed of members with diverse political views and extensive legal and government experience, the Commission takes a fresh look at how to limit the undue influence of private money in federal elections. The result is a highly readable report that tells how the current system, established in the wake of the Watergate scandal, is being manipulated by monied special interests, and how the system can be reformed. The report addresses: how to develop a level playing field for candidates; how to limit the amount of money flowing into campaigns while allowing candidates to mount effective races; how to curb the use of soft money and issue advocacy while preserving the role of political parties; and how to structure a system that will restore public confidence in government. This account is must reading on an issue that is moving to the center of the national stage.

Recent scandals, including questionable fund-raising tactics by the current administration, have brought campaign finance reform into the forefront of the news and the public consciousness. Dollars and Votes goes beyond the partial, often misleading, news stories and official records to explain how our campaign system operates. The authors conducted thorough interviews with corporate "government relations" officials about what they do and why they do it. The results provide some of the most damning evidence imaginable. What donors, especially business donors, expect for their money is "access" and access means a lot more than a chance to meet and talk. They count on secret behind-the-scenes deals, like a tax provision that applies only to a "corporation incorporated on June 13, 1917, which has its principal place of business in Bartlesville, Oklahoma." After a deal is worked out behind closed doors, one executive explains, "it doesn't much matter how people vote afterwards." Ordinary contributions give access to Congress; megabuck "soft money" contributions ensure access to the President and top leaders. The striking truth revealed by these authors is that half the soft money comes from fewer than five hundred big donors, and that most contributions come, directly or indirectly, from business. Reform is possible, they argue, by turning away from the temptation of looking at specific scandals and developing a new system that removes the influence of big money campaign contributors. Author note: Dan Clawson, Professor of Sociology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, is the author of Bureaucracy and the Labor Process and past editor of Contemporary Sociology. Alan Neustadtl, Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland, is the co-author (with Dan Clawson and Denise Scott) of Money Talks: Corporate PACs and Political Infuence. Mark Weller teaches sociology at San Jose State.
