Interests Groups and Campaigns

This book is a very good (clear and coherent) look at interest groups and their ever-continuing encroachment on the American electoral process. I read this for a Grad Seminar in interest groups and actually enjoyed reading a book for school. It led me to think about the money relationship between interest groups and campaigning as a form of patronage--not a claim made by the author, though. Interest groups gain access and control, and candidates get campaign money.
