Former U.S. Senator Fred R. Harris draws on traditional and contemporary political science literature, recent journalism, legislative documents, and transcripts from television interviews to argue in favor of the effectiveness of Congress.

Then, he devotes the text to exploring and debunking the forces that have created this sense in the American people.
