Beschreibung:
Michael Pertschuk served as chairman of the Federal Trade Commission from 1977 to 1981, and he cofounded the Advocacy Institute. He is the author of Smoke in Their Eyes: Lessons in Movement Leadership from the Tobacco Wars and The DeMarco Factor: Transforming Public Will into Political Power (both published by Vanderbilt University Press) and three other books.
Tells the behind-the-scenes contribution of entrepreneurial Congressional staff, who planted the seeds of public interest bills in their bosses' minds and manoeuvred to counteract the influence of lobbyists to pass laws in consumer protection, public health, and other policy arenas. This insider account draws on interviews and the author's fifteen years serving on the Senate Commerce Committee.
