Containing eight of Gene Grossman's and Elhanan Helpman's previously published articles, this work acts as a compaion to the monograph "Special Interest Politics". The first three chapters focus on campaign contributions and candidate endorsements - two of the tools that interest groups use in their efforts to influence policy outcomes.
