People''s Agents and the Battle to Protect the American Public - Special Interests, Government, Threats to Health, Safety,

Zusammenfassung 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.
