{"product_id":"money-in-politics","title":"Money in Politics","description":"In politics, money is often the name of the game. Politicians enrich themselves while in office, spend campaign money to finance their re-election, and accept lucrative ''golden parachute'' jobs after leaving office. Money in Politics argues that these different forms of capital are part of a common system and should be analyzed in a single framework. The book advances a comparative theory that shows how self-enrichment, campaign spending, and golden parachute jobs are connected to each other. This theory explains when and how money enters politics, ultimately illuminating that a change in one form affects the other types and revealing the consequences this has for democracy. The book uses a wide range of evidence from countries around the world, including causally identified quantitative studies, qualitative cross-national comparisons, and original survey experiments. Enlightening and instructive, this book shows that we can only fully comprehend the role of money in politics when we view it as a common system to be analyzed and critiqued.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57824383762767,"sku":"9781009054713","price":52.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/0372\/8217\/files\/9781009054713_1-money-in-politics.jpg?v=1780191864","url":"https:\/\/www.suomalainen.com\/products\/money-in-politics","provider":"Suomalainen.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
