Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Temple University/Money and Politics (Fall 2023)

This course examines the role that money plays in democratic politics in the United States. Money allows wealthier individuals and interest groups to communicate their preferences to governmental officials which leads to ask important questions: What is political corruption? How does it manifest itself? Can it be prevented in a democracy? This course will focus on the role money plays in the conduct of elections and on lobbying elected and appointed officials.
