Get the inside scoop on the most powerful city on Earth
Washington, D.C.: Capital of the Free World; the most powerful
city on Earth. No other country, company, or international
organization can compare with the reach and wealth of the federal
government. Policymaking -- the art of deciding what programs to
support, what laws to pass, or what regulations to write -- is at
the core of what Washington does and is what everyone, from the
President on down, wants to influence.
"How Washington Actually Works For Dummies" isn't a dry
explanation of the American system of government but a playbook for
how Washington really works: who has a seat at the table, how the
policymaking process works, and how one survives. It takes you
inside the political process in Washington, discusses changes in
recent decades, and explains how the parts fit together. You find
out: Who really runs WashingtonWhy the President's power is
limitedHow Congress (and its committee structure) worksWhat the
bureaucrats -- the men and women behind the curtain -- do to earn
your tax dollarsHow lobbyists, activists, and other players
influence policy
In a presidential election year when economic issues are center
stage and the candidates will go head to head in policy debates,
there's no better time to discover the ins and outs of how policy
is actually made.
