Title: More Accurate than Any Civics Class
Product review: Did you know that the federal government regulates the size of the holes in Swiss cheese?Cindy Skrzycki's book "The Regulators" is an absolute must-read for anyone interested in politics, lobbying, and everything in between. It will likely lay to rest the what you learned in civics class, showing the immense power that special interests in Washington can wield. She goes far beyond portraying these legislative battles as simply "business vs. labor" or "more vs. less," focusing closely on specific tactics that interests use, such as the use of arcane Congressional procedures, the targeting of Federal agencies tasked with promulgating regulations, and a whole host of other strategies. It's impossible to understand the political process without substantive and concise cast studies to study. Skrzycki's years as a Washington Post on the "regulatory beat" make her more than up to the task of providing them for students of the political process.
