Reviews

"""A well-conceptualized, tightly argued, and short book, Sharing the Wealth is certainly worth one's attention."" - Congress & the Presidency ""This is a very important piece of research. Member-to-member campaign contributions are an increasingly important part of the electoral landscape, but we know relatively little about how they work. The theory is well thought out and the author's treatment of the statistics is excellent."" - Kristin Kanthak, University of Pittsburgh"
