Reviews
Dan Palazzolo, University of Richmond:
While several scholars have found that Republicans do not benefit from pork barrel spending, this book engages in a more comprehensive analysis of the relationship between party and pork barrel spending, presents a more robust body of evidence and, most importantly, models the effects of party polarization.
