Cleaning Up the Capitol

Lessig's Republic, Lost...

unfortunately, dances rather quickly from a description of this proposal to outlining a number of political strategies that Lessig believes might bring it about. This proposed remedy—enough of a heavy lift to prompt questions about its political feasibility —also seems curiously unsuited to addressing the problems that Lessig has identified.

Disappointing. The book does a tremendous job explaining the problem but fails to engage the fundamental intellectual challenges involved with it's solution.

As an aside, I just grabbed Lesterland off of Amazon for $2. It is a more recent book and seems to address the issue more completely, particularly in the section titled "fixes."
