Abstract
According to a recent survey, a large majority of the members of the American Economic Association believes that special interests play a major role in policy formulation. John Maynard Keynes may have been closer to the truth, however, when he wrote, “it is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil.”
