The Expanding Universe of Interest Groups

Lester Freamon explains how to research interest groups.

Holyoke talks about a rise in the number of national associations. Check data from the Statistical Abstract of the United States (below).

1980 14,726
1990 22,289
1995 22,663
2000 21,840
2010 23,983

You might see something similar with political action committees (PACs).


Note, however, that data on business enterprises have a different pattern.
