Politics and Capital

Know about the book -

Politics and Capital is written by John Attanasio and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190847042 (ISBN 10) and 9780190847043 (ISBN 13).

Using both theoretical methods and practical political analysis, this book shows how recent Supreme Court decisions and campaign finance regulations map onto a pernicious and growing inequality in America. John Attanasio puts forward a novel solution grounded in a new principle of personal autonomy. The solution Attanasio proposes is the principle of "distributive autonomy," sharply contrasting it with the individualism of modern libertarian ideas, which have given rise to the radical inequality that reduces, rather than enhances, autonomy. A profound synthesis of theory and practice, Politics and Capital is crucial to understanding the ominous political and economic problems besetting twenty-first century America.
