With this controversial book, Mark A. Smith sets conventional wisdom on its head. In a systematic analysis of postwar lawmaking, Smith reveals that business loses in legislative battles unless it has public backing. This surprising conclusion holds because the types of issues that lead businesses to band together-such as tax rates, air pollution, and product liability-also receive the most media attention. The ensuing debates give citizens the information they need to hold their representatives accountable and make elections a choice between contrasting policy programs. Rather than succumbing to corporate America, Smith argues, representatives paradoxically become more responsive to their constituents when facing a united corporate front. Corporations gain the most influence over legislation when they work with organizations such as think tanks to shape Americans' beliefs about what government should and should not do. 410 0$aStudies in communication, media, and public opinion. 606 $aBusiness and politics$zUnited States 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zUnited States 606 $aPressure groups$zUnited States 606 $aLobbying$zUnited States 610 $ademocracy, elections, public opinion, campaigning, lobbying, corporations, legislation, special interest, taxation, pollution, product liability, media, news, journalism, policy, accountability, think tanks, business, politics, political science, power, pressure groups, popular sovereignty, coalition, chamber of commerce, nonfiction. 615 0$aBusiness and politics 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 615 0$aPressure groups 615 0$aLobbying 676 $a322/.3/0973 700 $aSmith$b Mark A$g(Mark Alan),$f1970-$01465370 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785049103321 996 $aAmerican business and political power$93787001 997 $aUNINA
