Description

A Washington Post Notable Book

An eye-opening account of how Congress today actually works—and how it doesn’t— Act of Congress specializes in two of the major players in the back of the sweeping financial reform bill enacted in response to the Great Crash of 2008: colorful, wisecracking congressman Barney Frank, and careful, insightful senator Christopher Dodd, either one of whom met often with Robert G. Kaiser all through the eighteen months they worked on the bill. In this compelling narrative, Kaiser shows how staffers play a critical role, drafting the legislation and regularly making the an important deals. Kaiser’s rare insider get admission to enabled him to illuminate the regularly-hidden intricacies of legislative enterprise and shows us the workings of Congress in all of its complexity, a clearer picture than any we have had of how Congress works best—or occasionally doesn’t work at all.
