LEGAL F. 111 (lamenting that debate over campaign finance reform has become clouded by excessive moralism and proposing a new focus on the realistic effects of existing laws and proposed reforms); Daniel Hays Lowenstein, On Campaign Finance Reform: The Root of All Evil Is Deeply Rooted, 18 HOFSTRA L. REV. 301, 305 (1989) (asserting that existing campaign finance reform is "corrupting in the traditional sense," but that reform is difficult because corruption touches so many interests at so many different levels); Martin Shapiro, Corruption, Freedom and Equality in Campaign Financing, 18 HOFSTRA L. REV. 385 (1989) (recognizing the inequities in access to political expression that derive from the inequality between rich and poor, but contending that proposed solutions are unprincipled); David A. Strauss, Corruption, Equality, and Campaign Finance Reform, 94 COLUM. L. REV. 1369 (1994) (suggesting that identification of corruption as the object of campaign finance reform overlooks more important underlying issues - inequality, interest group politics, and coercion of political contributors - issues that are too poorly understood to serve as proper objectives for the reform movement).
