Last year, Bruce Ackerman
and Ian Ayres published a book calling for campaign finance vouchers and mandatory
anonymity of some compaign contributions, Voting with Dollars: A New Paradigm
for Campaign Finance Reform (Yale University Press 2002). Volume 37,
Number 4 (May 2003) of the University of Richmond Law Review features
commentaries on the book from Kathy Abrams, Bruce Cain, Dan Farber, Beth
Garrett, Rick Hasen, Ken Mayer, and Fred Wertheimer and Alextranda Edsall.
(My commenary is posted here.)
Ackerman and Ayres provide a response in the same issue.
The book has generated a great deal of attention. It is apparently the subject
of another symposium in the California Law Review. A draft of Pam
Karlan's article from that symposium is available for download here
at SSRN. I do not know who else is in that symposium.
In addition, Lillian BeVier reviews the book at 112 Yale L.J. 1135 (2002),
Guy Charles reviews the book at 2 Election L.J. 271 (2003), and Dan Lowenstein
has a review forthcoming in the Harvard Law Review.
