Review Quotes: "Sweeney's is an ambitious intellectual exercise. In some respects it resembles the Marxist or Marxisant histories of German interest-group politics that were produced in East and West Germany in the 1960s and 1970s; but now, after the cultural turn, the author has resorted to a different set of methodological tools to analyze the influence and significance of these employer ideologoes."--Roger Chickering, Georgetown University
