December 10, 2015 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Registration required; contact the organizer.
The 2010 Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission opened the floodgates for billionaires to give unlimited sums of money to political campaigns. In this controversial final class on the richest Americans, Barry looks at the lives of the men who are attempting to use their vast fortunes to reshape politics. Anticipated individuals may include Donald Trump, Michael Bloomberg, Sheldon Adelson, George Soros, the Koch Brothers, Tom Steyer, Joe Ricketts, and Vince & Linda McMahon.
