Join us for an illuminating discussion with investigative reporter Brody Mullins about his new book, The Wolves of K Street, a dazzling and infuriating portrait of fifty years of corporate influence in Washington. In the 1970s, Washington’s center of power began to shift away from elected officials to a handful of savvy, handsomely paid operators who didn’t answer to any fixed constituency. With billions of dollars at play, these lobbying dynasties enshrined in Washington a pro-business consensus that would guide the country’s political leaders–Democrats and Republicans alike. Mullins talks about the ensuing backlash and the present-day affects of these men who built K Street.
