I’m very fortunate to have The Influence Machine reviewed by the well-informed and thoughtful Ryan Grim in the stellar journal Democracy.

“Katz builds what is a very strong case brick by brick, and it’s remarkable to watch the Chamber’s power rise chapter by chapter,” he writes.

“It is a gun for hire, a façade that corporations can use, for a price, to do work in Washington that they would rather not have associated with their consumer brand. All of this, Katz argues convincingly, has often flown brazenly in the face of tax law, but power in Washington trumps both the spirit and letter of the law.”
