Catherine Dustdude • Chapter 8 • Question 7

After reading this chapter, I have learned that smaller interest groups are more effective in politics. Oftentimes, according to the book, it's the smaller groups that receive the most benefits, or moreso, the least negative effects. The (small group of) farmers received the extra money, and the rest of the population hardly noticed. Last line in page 187-188 says that people are so tuned to mistakes that 'the many people you have made better off' will not notice. 

Also, the power of organized interests; the chapter title brought to light that a small group with passion can have more of an effect and even produce a change than the larger group with no passion or desire to fight for change. This is applicable to anything in life; if you want something, work for it.
