About
The Scholars Strategy Network is hosting a public discussion at Harvard to release new research on the money that is now flooding the political system. The event offers a deep dive into the strategies and tactics of both the left and the right in our post-Citizens United world.
New research on the Koch network will be released by Harvard professor Theda Skocpol and doctoral student Alexander Hertel-Fernandez. Princeton professor Marty Gilens and Northwestern professor Ben Page, whose groundbreaking research on money in politics has been widely covered in the media and featured on the Daily Show, will be presenting new findings. So will Jacob Hacker, the Yale professor known for co-authoring Winner Take All Politics, which links political inequality to the economic inequality that threatens the fabric of our nation.
