Description
In recent
years, important battles have been fought over health care reform,
telecommunications deregulation, and Medicare, to name just a few. The
interest groups most successful at influencing policy are those with
the most money to spend on advertising and lobbying. West and Loomis
caution that as the "sound" of money in American politics grows louder,
this new group activism will increasingly affect-and maybe even
threaten-the viability of representative government.
