High-priced campaigns, an elite class of donors and spenders, superPACs, and increasing corporate political power have become the new normal in American politics. In Capitalism v. Democracy, Timothy Kuhner explains how these conditions have corrupted American democracy, turning it into a system of rule that favors the wealthy and marginalizes ordinary citizens. Kuhner maintains that these conditions have corrupted capitalism as well, routing economic competition through political channels and allowing politically powerful companies to evade market forces. The Supreme Court has brought about both forms of corruption by striking down campaign finance reforms that limited the role of money in politics. Exposing the extreme economic worldview that pollutes constitutional interpretation, Kuhner shows how the Court became the architect of American plutocracy. Capitalism v. Democracy offers the key to understanding why corporations are now citizens, money is political speech, limits on corporate spending are a form of censorship, democracy is a free market, and political equality and democratic integrity are unconstitutional constraints on money in politics. Supreme Court opinions have dictated these conditions in the name of the Constitution, as though the Constitution itself required the privatization of democracy. Kuhner explores the reasons behind these opinions, reveals that they form a blueprint for free market democracy, and demonstrates that this design corrupts both politics and markets. He argues that nothing short of a constitutional amendment can set the necessary boundaries between capitalism and democracy.Campaign funds -- Law and legislation -- United StatesCapitalism -- United StatesConstitutional law -- United StatesDemocracy -- United StatesUnited States -- Politics and governmentUnited States. -- Supreme CourtCampaign fundsLaw and legislationUnited StatesConstitutional lawUnited StatesCapitalismUnited StatesDemocracyUnited StatesLaw - U.SHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCConstitutional Law - U.SHILCCCampaign funds -- Law and legislation -- United States.Capitalism -- United States.Constitutional law -- United States.Democracy -- United States.United States -- Politics and government.United States. -- Supreme Court.Campaign fundsLaw and legislationConstitutional lawCapitalismDemocracyLaw - U.S.Law, Politics & GovernmentConstitutional Law - U.S.324.7 80973Kuhner Timothy K., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1797946DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910953361403321Capitalism v.

But as Andrew Pickering reveals in this beguiling book, a much more lively and experimental strain of cybernetics can be traced from the 1940's to the present. The Cybernetic Brain explores a largely forgotten group of British thinkers, including Grey Walter, Ross Ashby, Gregory Bateson, R. D. Laing, Stafford Beer, and Gordon Pask, and their singular work in a dazzling array of fields. Psychiatry, engineering, management, politics, music, architecture, education, tantric yoga, the Beats, and the sixties counterculture all come into play as Pickering follows the history of cybernetics' impact on the world, from contemporary robotics and complexity theory to the Chilean economy under Salvador Allende. What underpins this fascinating history, Pickering contends, is a shared but unconventional vision of the world as ultimately unknowable, a place where genuine novelty is always emerging. And thus, Pickering avers, the history of cybernetics provides us with an imaginative model of open-ended experimentation in stark opposition to the modern urge to achieve domination over nature and each other.CyberneticsCyberneticsHistoryBrainSelf-organizing systemsCybernetics.CyberneticsHistory.Brain.Self-organizing systems.003/.5Pickering Andrew45185MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968670503321The cybernetic brain4356209UNINA
