Act of Congress: How America's Essential Institution Works, and How It Doesn't
by Robert G Kaiser
Act of Congress tells the story of the Dodd-Frank Act, aimed at legislating financial reform in the context of a bipartisan Senate. The author collaborated with the two men responsible for the legislative effort, Congressman Barney Frank and Senator Chris Dodd, and had access to every step of the drafting and deal making that produced the 1500 page law. Kaiser explains how lobbying affects a bill - or fails to - showing how ferocious partisanship regularly overwhelms all other considerations, in a read that is as entertaining as it is enlightening.
