"Those of us privileged to hold a public office have ourselves to blame for the sickness in American public life today. And we are the defenders of a campaign finance system that is nothing less, than an elaborate influence peddling scheme, in which both parties conspire to stay in office by selling the country to the highest bidder."

"One of the things they need to do the implement Powell's memo, is destroy the laws that prevent them and their financial backers, from spending unlimited amounts of money to buy elections, politicians, and political power."

In the 1960s masses of anti-Vietnam war, civil rights, women's liberation and gay rights activists took to the streets across the Global North.
On August 23, 1971, in the midst of this so-called "crisis of democracy", jurist Lewis F Powell Jr wrote to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce urging a full-scale counterattack on the enemy - namely, radical elements in higher education.
Who or what was driving the "massive assault" on American free enterprise?
Higher education was to blame, said Powell, and he urged the Chamber of Commerce to establish a special staff 'to address the campus origin of this hostility'
David Rockefeller, CEO and Chairman of Chase Manhattan Bank and billionaire grandson of John D Rockefeller, agreed with Powell.
A thorough study was needed.
But who were the right people to carry it out?(2/n)
