,Purpose and Perspective of the Chapter
The purpose of this chapter is to focus on businesses’ attempts to influence government.
They take a descriptive approach to the topic, seeking primarily to understand the various
approaches businesses use, and to evaluate strengths and weaknesses, successes and
failures. However, as the students read the chapter, they will undoubtedly be impressed
with the tremendous power that businesses wield in the political realm, primarily through
their application of money to the process. The question is whether they will be pleased
with the situation or scared for our republic. As discussed in the previous chapter,
government also influences businesses, and students should be reminded of this fact.
