Every.single.political-scientist.twat loves to expound on grand themes like race, economy, to spin social trends and zeitgeist, etc...

NOT ONE, gets into the complex and hidden machinery of how government printed money and debt interplay with influence peddling, vote-buying and particularly now - how ballots are distributed and counted.

Most historians can speak about Tammany Hall or Huey Long, but no one dares to think that such corruption could be updated and brought into the 21st century.

What goes on today is Tammany Hall on crack. Boss Tweed would blush at what goes on in most major cities today.

There’s a spin-off from the Chicago Economic School ** that does that - Public Choice Theory.
Not sure how successful their “modeling” is, but they do address it in their writings.

** I call it a spin-off from the Chicago school because all the adherents of it that I know are originally those type of economic thinkers.
