As discussed in Chapters $1,2,$ and $3$ of the book, corporations can affect legislation by donating to the political parties that support or oppose specific laws. For instance, if a political candidate declares that if voted into power, they will pass legislation to reduce taxes on the IT industry because it helps human advancement, most IT companies are likely to support that candidate by donations. Consequently, whichever candidate has the highest budget for marketing and PR is more likely to win the election.
