"We have legalized political corruption" - Ezra Klein show
A great discussion on the history of campaign finance, how elections are awash in money, and how our problems today are due to the ability of the wealthy to buy politicians.
Podcast from Ezra Klein at Vox talking to Zephyr Teachout. (Use link below or subscribe to the Ezra Klein show, it's the most recent episode.)

This episode is a must-listen, in my view.
Anyone know where to find a transcript of this?
Interested to hear people's opinions of this discussion.
