Book Synopsis
Reasonable people disagree about the reach of the federal government, but there is near-universal consensus that it should protect us from such dangers as bacteria-infested food, harmful drugs, toxic pollution, crumbling bridges, and unsafe toys. This book looks at the tangled web of problems that have led to this dire state of affairs.

Trade Review
"Steinzor and Shapiro present an eminently readable account of how thirty years of conscious neglect have decimated the regulatory programs that protect our health, safety, and environment, and they offer innovative suggestions for revitalizing the civil service and developing positive metrics to alert society to the need for stronger governmental action." - Thomas O. McGarity, University of Texas at Austin.
