Lucid and brilliant...Herbert Stein breaks all the rules of economic writing by making
the subject understandable.
                                 -William Safire

The 'great traumas' of American economic history in the past half century or so, Herbert
Stein believes.... have been associated with unemployment and inflation, and in
Presidential Economics he traces the ways in which national administrations...have
sought to cope with them....It is a subject on which he is splendidly qualified to speak.
                                 -Stuart Bruchy, Washington Post

His diagnosis of Reaganomics, without being polemical, is devastating.
                                 -Leonard Silk, New York Times Book Review

With a wit and lucidity rare in economic writing, Herbert Stein examines the
events, policies, and personalities that have shaped our economy for a half
century, After tracing the development of economic theory from the
Keynesian revolution of the 1930s to the supply-side revolution of the
1980s, he offers a critique of Reagan's economics of joy. In the new
chapters in this edition, Stein brings his analysis up to date with commen-
tary on both the Bush and the Clinton approaches to the economy.

Wise, literate and wry, Stein has accomplished the almost impossible-an economic-
political contemporary history that is a pleasure to read.
                                 -Daniel Schorr

Makes absorbing reading....It is of great social utility to have a book....that tells us how
American Presidents make economic policy and forcefully reminds us that economics
and politics will always be two quite different enterprises.
                                 -A. Lawrence Chickering, Fortune
