How Congress Evolves: Social Bases of Institutional Change
Polsby, Nelson W. (Heller Professor of Political Science, Heller Professor of Political Science, University of California, Berkeley)
A tale of one of our most august institutions. This book argues that among other things, from the 50's to the 90's, Congress evolved. This evolutionary process led to the House's liberalization and later to its transformation into an arena of sharp partisanship, visible among both Democrats and Republicans.
