Big Money Took Over Big Government

A dazzling and infuriating portrait of fifty
years of corporate influence in Washington,
The Wolves of K Street is a masterpiece of
narrative nonfiction8212iresistibly dramatic,
spectacularly timely, explosive in its
revelations, and absolutely impossible to put
down.In the 1970s, Washington8217scenter of
power began to shift away from elected officials
in big marble buildings to a handful of savvy,
handsomely paid operators who

didn8217tanswer to any fixed constituency. The
cigar-chomping son of an influential congressman,
an illustrious political fixer with a weakness
for modern art, a Watergate-era dirty trickster,
the city8217sfavorite cocktail party
host8212thse were the sort of men who now ran
Washington. Over four decades, they8217dchart
new ways to turn their clients8217cash into
political leverage, abandoning favor-trading in
smoke-filled rooms for increasingly
sophisticated tactics, such as 8220shdow
lobbying,8221where underground campaigns
sparked seemingly organic public outcries to
pressure lawmakers into taking actions that
would ultimately benefit corporate interests
rather than ordinary citizens. With billions of
dollars at play, these lobbying dynasties
enshrined in Washington a pro-business consensus
that would guide the country8217spolitical
leaders8212Deocrats and Republicans alike. A
good lobbyist could ghostwrite a bill or even
secretly kill a piece of legislation supported by
the president, both houses of Congress, and a
majority of Americans. Yet nothing lasts forever.
Amid a populist backlash to the soaring
inequality these influence peddlers helped usher
in, DC8217spro-business alliance suddenly
began to fray. And while the lobbying
establishment would continue to invent new ways
to influence Washington, the men who8217dbuilt
K Street would soon find themselves under legal
scrutiny, on the verge of financial collapse, or
worse. One would turn up dead behind the
eighteenth green of an exclusive golf club, with
a 1,500 bottle of wine at his feet and a bullet
his head.
