More about the book
Challenging the notion that public policy emerges from the people's demands, Dye reveals how it is actually shaped by a governing elite in America. He provides an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms through which this elite influences policy, including the roles of money foundations, think tanks, lobbyists, and the media. By examining these behind-the-scenes activities, Dye argues that public policy is predominantly a top-down process, reflecting the interests and values of a select few rather than the broader populace.
