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.
