Money for Nothing
The increased power of lobbyists in Washington and the excesses of campaign contributions suggest a government corrupted.

He analyzes the patterns of legal extortion underlying the current fabric of interest-group politics.

Why has antitrust legislation not lived up to its promise of promoting free-market competition and protecting consumers?
