Summary	The United States Congress has been described as dysfunctional, gridlocked, polarized, hyperpartisan, chaotic, and do-nothing. In Changing Cultures in Congress, Donald R. Wolfensberger explains the institutional dynamics behind Congress's devolution to a body plagued by a win-at-any-cost mentality and a culture of perpetual campaigning.
