In this greatly entertaining tale of one of our most august
institutions, Nelson Polsby argues that among other things, from
the 50's to the 90's, Congress evolved. In short, Polsby argues
that air conditioning altered the demography of the southern
states, which in turn changed the political parties of the South,
which transformed the composition and in due course the performance
of the US House of Representatives. This evolutionary process led
to the House's liberalization and later to its transformation into
an arena of sharp partisanship, visible among both Democrats and
Republicans. How Congress Evolves breathes new life into the dusty
corners of institutional history, and offers a unique explanation
for important transformations in the congressional
environment.
