REPUBLIC, LOST How Money Corrupts Congress--and a Plan to Stop It

Lawrence Lessig continues to demonstrate his talents as both author and narrator with this recent offering. His timely and riveting analysis of how money has corrupted American politics and our entire system of government is presented clearly and at a pace that allows the listener to absorb the facts. Lessig's experience as a college professor is evident in his organized writing style and engaging oral delivery. He skillfully varies pace and pitch not only to instruct but also to hold the listener's attention while conveying his own passion for the topic. The solutions he proffers may seem quixotic, but they at least offer some hope that the sobering, if not downright depressing, realities presented here may someday be rectified.
