Document Summary
Sugar: world market: 0. 118/lb, us market price: 0. 225/lb. Congress has passed legislation to help keep sugar prices high by preventing. American consumers from having access to cheap world sugar. An organization of people with shared policy goals entering the policy process at several points to try and achieve those goals. Is the idea that with all the cross-cutting cleavages in society, no one faction could dominate- over time or across issues: in fact, the competition among these varied groups could actually help forge understanding and compromise. Problems of pluralism: tyranny of the majority, unequal voice . Upshot: you have no incentive to contribute time, money, and effort, of whatever: how people overcome them. Material benefits (things you receive after doing something) Solution: people feel it will, fighting not winning is worth. As an answer to the mischiefs of faction the notion of pluralism has often been invoked: this rests of some assumptions about, open access.
