This volume showcases the most exciting new voices in the fields of
business and political history. While the media frequently warns of
the newfound power of business in the world of politics, the
authors in this book demonstrate that business has mobilized to
shape public policy and government institutions, as well as
electoral outcomes, for decades. Rather than assuming that business
influence is inevitable, the chapters explore the complex evolution
of this relationship in a wide range of different arenas-from
attempts to create a corporate-friendly tax policy and regulations
that would work in the interests of particular industries, to local
boosterism as a weapon against New Deal liberalism, to the nexus
between evangelical Christianity and the oil industry, to the
frustrations that business people felt in struggles with public
interest groups. The history that emerges show business actors
organizing themselves to affect government in myriad ways,
sometimes successfully but other times with outcomes far different
than they hoped for. The result in an image of American politics
that is more complex and contested than it is often thought to be.
The essays represent a new trend in scholarship on political
economy, one that seeks to break down the barriers that once
separated old subfields to offer a vision of the economy as shaped
by politics and political life influenced by economic
relationships.
