About this episode

Timothy Snyder discusses the case presented by Lawrence Lessig aimed at ending Super PACs and dark money in politics.

I think you’ll learn a lot from our conversation and hope you’ll check out EqualCitizens.US to learn more about their case and why it matters. Thinking about... is a reader-supported publication.
