What is hyperpluralism?

I generally agree with the first answer, but I would take
issue with a couple of the ideas in that answer.

First of
all, pluralism does not argue that you need groups working with goals that are common to
all of them.  Pluralism envisions many different groups
with different goals, all
competing to influence
policy.

Second, hyperpluralism (which I connect in my mind
with Theodore Lowi's idea of interest group liberalism) does not argue that too many
groups suppress the power of government.  Instead, they expand the scope of government
because government is trying to do more things so as to please more people.  It is very
much like the system we have now where the government has become huge and tends to work
for the interest groups and not the common good.

So
hyperpluralism says that too many interest groups mean that government is doing too much
for too many groups and so we have an excessively large
government.
