Abstract

Money plays a fundamental role in a democracy. Political parties need to reach their constituencies and inform them of their policies. Not disclosing private donations can lead to corruption, cronyism and policy capture, but would disclosing donations necessarily increase public trust? Collette Schulz-Herzenberg and Gary Pienaar pick up on this crucial debate.
