Lawrence Lessig: The Corruption of Congress
Town Hall Seattle
Seattle, WA
More than ever, Americans believe money buys results in Congress. After entering public discourse as an advocate for reforms to copyright, trademark, and radio spectrum allocations (through his scholarship and founding roles at Creative Commons and Electronic Frontier Foundation), 2007 brought a shift in focus for Lawrence Lessig: political corruption. An advisory board member to congressional watchdog The Sunlight Foundation, Lessig says corruption is a divided America's common enemy, and in his new book, Republic, Lost, he examines how we arrived at this crisis, and how the economy of influence defeats the will of the peopleeven as he offers strategies to correct our course. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company. Series media sponsorship provided by PubliCola. Series supported by The Boeing Company Charitable Trust and the RealNetworks Foundation.
