Описание к видео IGCC Podcast Miniseries: Democracy and Its Discontents, Ep. 2 - Money and Power

Democracy is supposed to be by and for the people, but limitless, unregulated money flowing into politics weakens the voice of the majority and gives outsized influence to elites who can distort the democratic process in their favor. What is the point of the rule of law if it is essentially for sale? In the second episode of our democracy miniseries, host Lindsay Shingler is joined by UCLA professor Marty Gilens. Together, they look at the role of money in U.S. elections—and in American politics as a whole—and explore the corrosive impact it has on representation.

This episode was recorded on July 1, 2024. The conversation was edited for length and clarity.
