Lawrence Lessig

  

On

today’s Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with Harvard professor Lawrence Lessig about his mission to get money out of politics.

What’s the best way to get money out of politics? Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and you.

Guests:

Lawrence Lessig, professor and director of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard University and founder of the Center for Internet and Society
