Synopsis

How power moves between boardrooms and government rooms—and who shapes the rules that guide them.

This study examines the struggle for control between business interests and the state, with a focus on lobbying, public policy, and the mechanisms that shape economic power in a democracy.

The material blends historical context with analysis of how pressure groups, government institutions, and corporate actors interact. It highlights the dynamic tension between the idea of limited government and the push for more active policy, especially in times of economic stress and rapid change. This edition presents a clear look at who speaks for business, how they influence law and regulation, and what that means for governance and the public good.

• How power and influence flow through lobbying, legislation, and public opinion.
• Examples of organizations and strategies used to shape policy and economic outcomes.
• Discussion of how government structures and representation affect decision making.
• Historical context for the debate over corporate influence and regulatory action.

Ideal for readers interested in economic history, public policy, and the interactions between government and industry.
