ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A DECADE has passed since I first started thinking about the ideas in this book. I was motivated to study interest group competition because as a graduate student I was reading literature that seemed not merely outdated but a little disconnected from reality as I thought I knew it. By the time I came to graduate school at the George Washington University, I had already worked for several organized interests as an assistant lobbyist and for the New York State Senate on the receiving end of a fair amount of lobbying, so I was sure that notions of subgovernments and iron triangles just could not be true. In other words, I was sure that competition was all-prevailing and great scholars such as Theodore Lowi were wrong. I wonder how many other dissertation projects have been founded in such hubris.
