About this Item

Paperback. The Capital Beltway, Interstate 495, has encircled Washington, D.C. since its completion in 1964. The phrase "Inside the Beltway" refers to matters primarily of interest to federal officials, lobbyists, contractors, media insiders, and local residents. It has come to symbolize a political culture. This book is rooted in the "Inside the Beltway" humor aiming to engage both those interested in politics, policy, and insider perspectives-and those who fund them. While "Inside the Beltway" may seem unfamiliar-or even uninteresting-to those outside the U.S. or less immersed in D.C. affairs, this collection offers humorous and thought-provoking reflections on civic life. Readers will find sharp insights and witty provocations that invite them to consider their own role in democracy and public discourse. This item is printed on demand.
