《专业知识的政治经济学》是一本关于立法机构如何使用专家研究和证词的仔细论证的书。Kevin Esterling证明，利益集团实际上可以通过鼓励国会评估研究和实施明智的政策来帮助立法过程。这些团体不仅仅是为了华盛顿内部人士的利益，他们还鼓励国会制定有可能成功的政策，同时避免那些有太大失败风险的政策。令人惊讶的结果是更高的立法效率。《专业知识的政治经济学》一书说明，这一体系实际上有利于有效和知情的决策，从而增加了新政策造福美国公众的可能性。Esterling是加州大学滨江分校的助理教授。
"The Political Economy of Expertise" is a carefully argued examination of how legislatures use expert research and testimony. Kevin Esterling demonstrates that interest groups can actually help the legislative process by encouraging Congress to assess research and implement well-informed policies. More than mere touts for the interests of Washington insiders, these groups encourage Congress to enact policies that are likely to succeed while avoiding those that have too great of a risk of failure. The surprising result is greater legislative efficiency. "The Political Economy of Expertise" illustrates that this system actually favors effective and informed decision making, thereby increasing the likelihood that new policies will benefit the American public.Kevin M. Esterling is Assistant Professor at the University of California, Riverside.
