From the opening
The founding question was simple: What would happen if we took money out of political campaigns? At first, that sounded like a perfectly unrealistic question. Then we started pulling on it.
Legal examples refer to particular decisions and rules at the dates discussed. A legal holding, a research finding, and a proposed reform are different kinds of claims.
Ask what the evidence shows, what remains uncertain, and what would change the conclusion. The same questions apply to this book.
