诺亚·沙赫特曼写道：“财富仍然可以买到政治权力，正如它在寡头政治的上一轮迭代中所做的那样。”
”Wealth can still buy political power, just as it did in the oligarchy’s previous iteration,” Noah Shachtman writes.
而今天的不同之处在于：“政治权力，甚至仅仅是接近政治权力，正在以美国现代史上前所未有的程度创造财富。”美国的资本主义或许再也回不到从前了。
The difference today: “Political power, or even just proximity to it, is generating wealth to a degree unknown in modern American history.”American capitalism may never be the same again.
