"Money, Corruption and Politics"

Station)
Friday, September 21, 7:30 pm. Doors open at 7.
Ample free parking in the church lot.
Lawrence Lessig, founder of Rootstrikers, a network of activists leading the fight against government corruption, is the author of "Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Our Congress-and a Plan to Stop It," and "One Way Forward: The Outsider's Guide to Fixing the Republic."
Prior to rejoining the Harvard faculty, Lessig was a professor at Stanford Law School, where he founded the school's Center for Internet and Society, and at the University of Chicago. He clerked for Judge Richard Posner on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and Justice Antonin Scalia on the United States Supreme Court.
