Book Synopsis
During the 2008 election season, politicians from both sides of the aisle promised to rid government of lobbyists' undue influence. Based on a comprehensive examination of ninety-eight issues, this title demonstrates that sixty per cent of the lobbying campaigns failed to change policy despite millions of dollars spent trying.

Trade Review
"This excellent book draws on a creative, original data set that nearly solves one of the great puzzles of political analysis: how to make a systematic assessment of who wields influence in politics. The authors amassed a phenomenal amount of information from interviews and electronic and print sources. Although much of what they find challenges common wisdom in political science, their findings are persuasive." - Kay Schlozman, Boston College"
