So Damn Much Money

In this compelling and timely book, Robert G. Kaiser explores how money and the influence of special interests have transformed Washington over the past four decades into a dysfunctional capital. Through the story of lobbyist Gerald S. J. Cassidy, Kaiser reveals how the relationship between politicians and lobbyists has evolved, impacting national issues like health care and social security. An insightful look into the inner workings of Washington, this book explains why the capital's politics function as they do today.
