Special interest groups are widely distrusted and often reviled: parochial, self-serving, and corrosive to democracy and the common good. In his book, Gautam Nair argues the opposite. He contends that concentrated interests can serve a vital function in democratic politics, helping to advance not only their own purposes but also that of a broader public through what he terms "incidental representation." Join us to discuss these ideas and what they mean for democracy today.
