Book Description
Inside the Minds: Political Powerhouses is the most authoritative book ever written on the intraciacies, opportunities and the impact of doing business in the nation's capital. Featuring lobbyists and lawyers representing some of the nation's top firms, Presidents and Directors of Political Action Committees and advocacy groups, as well as other influential voices, this book provides a broad, yet comprehensive overview of how Washington works. From the steps involved in making policy and advice around getting heard on Capitol Hill, to the particulars of lawyering in Washington and the interplay between business and politics, authors articulate the finer points around politics now, and what will hold true into the future. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great minds in Washington as experts from all sides offer up their thoughts around the keys to success inside the Beltway.
