NHIOP Bookmark Series: “The Wolves of K Street”
October 2, 2024
6:00 pm EDT - 7:30 pm EDT
Join us on October 2nd at 6:00 p.m. for the next installment of the Institute's Bookmark Series, featuring authors Brody and Luke Mullins. They will be joined by Neil Levesque, the Institute’s executive director, to discuss their latest book, The Wolves of K Street: The Secret History of How Big Money Took Over Big Government (2024, Simon & Schuster). This book offers a comprehensive account of the growing influence of corporate power and lobbying in Washington over the past fifty years.
Through the stories of several prominent Washington lobbyists, the authors illustrate how corporations have gained significant control over public policy, often surpassing the influence of both the president and Congress. They also explore how well-meaning reforms have inadvertently strengthened the power and secrecy of corporate lobbyists, shifting the focus of lobbying from the halls of Congress to voters nationwide.
Books may be purchased in advance at your local bookseller or online. A book signing with the authors will follow the discussion. Free and open to the public.
