Client Politics Example: National regulation of milk industry, sugar production, merchant shipping Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.

Entrepreneurial Politics Relies on entrepreneurs to galvanize public opinion and mobilize congressional support Example: In the 1960s and 1970s a large number of consumer and environmental protection statutes passed (e.g., Clean Air Act, Toxic Substance Control Act) Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company.
