Nixon's Economy: Booms, Busts, Dollars, and Votes

Allen J. Matusow

4/5 ( ratings)

"A fascinating book. Matusow writes very well and manages to make complicated economic ideas very clear. His portraits of major players such as Herbert Stein, John Connally, and George Shultz are extraordinarily shrewd. The result is a history of presidential mismanagement that reveals a great deal, not only about the Nixon years, but also about the formidable obstacles that block the making of well-informed and coherent federal economic policy."James T. Patterson, author of Grand Expectations: The United States, 1945-1974"An important and stimulating book that contributes substantially to the ongoing reinterpretation of Nixon's presidency, vividly demonstrating how Nixon's quest for a new majority animated and gave coherence to his economic policy choices."Bruce J. Schulman, author of Lyndon B. Johnson and American Liberalism Author Bio: Allen J. Matusow is William Gaines Twyman Professor of History at Rice University. Among his many books are The Unraveling of America: A History of Liberalism in the 1960s and Farm Policy and Politics in the Truman Years.
