The increased power of lobbyists in Washington and the excesses of campaign contributions suggest a government corrupted. But as McChesney shows, payments to politicians are often made not for political favors, but to avoid political disfavor. He analyzes the patterns of legal extortion underlying the current fabric of interest-group politics.
