Abstract
The article discusses the history and influence of lobbying in American politics. It highlights the rise of lobbying as a powerful industry, tracing its origins to the 1970s and its subsequent growth. The article explores how lobbying has become a pernicious force in national life, with corporate America outspending other groups to shape public opinion and influence policy. It also examines the revolving door between government and lobbying, as well as the cultural transformation of Washington that lobbying has brought about. The article warns of the normalization of corruption and the potential consequences of a second Trump administration, which could further empower lobbyists and undermine responsible governance.
