Why Congress - no question mark, no subtitle - is perhaps the most important book on politics published in 2023. * Wall Street Journal *
Wallach's primary aim in this book is to reassess Congress's role in the political and policymaking process over the past several decades...Wallach is rightly concerned with the political relevance of a Congress that is both quick to centralize policymaking and deliberation within the leadership, while simultaneously delegating significant policymaking autonomy to the executive branch. * Timothy P. Nokken, Congress and The Presidency *
