Corruption in America: From Benjamin Franklin's Snuff Box to Citizens United

Interesting book by Cuomo challenger Zephyr Teachout on the history of corruption as a basic threat to republican values. We see how paid lobbying was once upon a time seen as against public policy, but it mainly covers campaign donations and gifts. Balancing pure speech (Citizens United was about a film) not really covered. Would like a bit more on that issue.
