Publisher's Synopsis
"The Organization of Interests is a valuable addition to the literature. It reminds us that the interior life of groups has political significance and gives us a conceptual framework for exploring that life. It balances nicely between the pluralists-who tend to interpret interest group behaviour entirely in political terms-and Olson-who has no satisfactory explanation for behaviour that is not attributable to economic self-interest. In the concept of the entrepreneur Moe gives us a useful analytical device which deserves operationalization. The book is well worth study."-A. Paul Pross, Canadian Journal of Political Science
