Details

The investment theory of party competition is a political theory put forth by University of Massachusetts professor Thomas Ferguson. It describes elections as moments when blocs of investors coalesce and compete to control the state. The high costs of political participation for average voters leads to the buying of elections by businesses. This is done through contributions, as well as direct and indirect influence from corporations, law firms and the commercial media. The theory argues that in the absence of an organized populace and labor movement, power passes by default to blocs of investors, and thus, the candidate with the most financial backing always wins. Ferguson argues that members of the United States Congress earn the highest rates of return in recorded history on their portfolios, because stock market prices reflect major investor knowledge of campaign contributions, and they have inside information.
