Early Returns with Jan Baran - Brody Mullins: Goldilocks and the Wolves of K Street, A Historical Account of Lobbying in the U.S.
Early Returns Law & Politics Podcast with Jan Baran
In this episode of Early Returns, Jan Baran speaks with Brody Mullins, co-author of “The Wolves of K Street” and Pulitzer Prize winning Wall Street Journal journalist, about the historical, present and future world of lobbyists in the U.S.
When our founding fathers created the Constitution, they believed there would be both industry and worker factions lobbying towards a greater good. Then, eventually big money took over big government and legal reforms were introduced.
They discuss the effect the legal reforms have had on the legitimacy of lobbying. Did they help the public view of what was happening in Washington? Did the reforms take it too far? And now that President Trump is at the helm and he is issuing executive orders, what does this mean for the future of lobbying?
