Sean McElwee and Roberta Barnett — Inside the donor network: Studies unravel the towering influence money has over politics — on the right and left

A new paper from Harvard sociologist and political scientist Theda Skocpol prepared for a Scholar’s Strategy Network workshop and obtained exclusively by Salon explores the influence of donor consortia (groups of donors that meet regularly to coordinate spending) on politics. She compares the activities of Koch network on the far right and Democracy Alliance on the progressive left. Her findings reveal the increasing importance of these consortia as they grow and work strategically to achieve political objectives.
