This highly readable book makes a strong case that a Washington
establishment does exist and that members of Congress are
responsible for it. Fiorina's description of the self-serving
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 Fiorina's 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
self-interest: constituents want benefits at someone else's
expense; Congressmen, seeking reelection, try to oblige;
bureaucrats want growth for their agencies and accordingly provide
favors for Congressmen. The general welfare is ill-served."-Foreign
Affairs "A 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
Review "Written with insight, originality, and verve."-Washington
Monthly
