Intrerest Groups 5/14

"Notice that the interests that all of these diverse types of organizations are expected to further are for the most part common interests: the union members' common interest in higher wages, the farmers' common interest in favorable legislation, the cartel members' common interest in higher prices, the stockholders' common interest in higher dividends and stock prices, the citizens' common interest in good government. It is not an accident that the diverse types of organizations listed are all supposed to work primarily for the common interests of their members."

Organizations are created to further the common goals of the people within. These goals are ones that they would not be able to reach individually. The common goal that they are trying to reach, keeps them united and working together. When the goal they are working towards is not making any progress or the progress is not great enough to need a group to create, the organizations starts to disband.
