More: The Politics of Economic Growth in Postwar America

Rating:
Summary: A New View
Review: This book is a bit deceptive--it delivered far more than I expected. It treats the complicated economic developments of the past half-century in a clear and accessible fashion. But it also told me a surprising amount about the politics and presidents of the postwar era. I particularly liked the way it forced me to view Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton in a new light. Indeed, this book offers a new and illuminating interpretation of the entire postwar period.
