Congress: Keystone of the Washington Establishment, Revised Edition (Perspectives; 12),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This highly readable book makes a strong case that a Washington establishment does exist and that members of Congress are responsible for it. Fiorinas description of the selfserving interconnections that have developed between Congress, bureaucrats, and citizens with special interests leads to provocative and disturbing conclusions about the way our political system works. First published in 1977, this greatly enlarged second edition discusses the new developments that have occurred over the past twelve years, provides supportive data through the 1988 election, and reveals Fiorinas current thoughts on Congress and American politics.Reviews of the first edition:A stimulating indictment of the role of Congress in perpetuating a triangle of selfinterest: constituents want benefits at someone elses expense; Congressmen, seeking reelection, try to oblige; bureaucrats want growth for their agencies and accordingly provide favors for Congressmen. The general welfare is illserved.Foreign AffairsA fascinating book . . . on the factors which keep members of Congress in office . . . . A tract that no student of Congress can afford to neglect.Eric M. Uslaner, American Political Science ReviewWritten with insight, originality, and verve.Washington Monthly
