The second edition of The Presidency and the Economy remains the best source for analyzing the role of the President in trying to provide what the public expects-prosperity. -- John W. Sloan, University of Houston Presidency and Economic Policy provides a comprehensive, reliable, and readable view of presidential actions since World War II to manage the economy. Skillfully combining historical, institutional, and analytical perspectives, and drawing upon a wide variety of sources, the authors cast bright light on the problems, politics, and limitations of presidential economic policymaking and on the content of policy. Anyone wanting to be informed about presidential economic policymaking will gain much from this insightful, balanced, and up-to-date book, just as I did. It merits three cheers. -- James Anderson, Texas A&M University A useful overview of the role of the presidency in the US economy. Summing Up: Recommended. * CHOICE, March 2008 * A must read for students and scholars of the presidency. In addition to capturing the critical role that the president plays in managing the nation's economy, the authors highlight the executive's role in marrying economic policy and presidential leadership. The book clearly explains some basic principles of economics plus how the president influences economic policy. Many students have little economic background when they take courses on the Presidency, and this book fills that gap. -- Shirley Anne Warshaw, Gettysburg CollegeMore details
