Tracing the development of the U.S. presidency since Harry S.
Truman took office in 1945, this volume describes the many ways the
president's actions have affected the development of capitalism in
the post-World War II era. Contributors show how the American
"Consumer-in-Chief" has exerted a decisive hand as well as
behind-the-scenes influence on the national economy and everyday
American life. The essays in this volume highlight the president's
impact on various areas including work, gender discrimination and
affirmative action, student loans, retirement planning, the credit
card economy, the federal budget, cities, poverty, energy,
computers, and genetic engineering. They argue that by supporting
policies that helped American businesses grow in all sectors, the
president has helped domestic companies expand internationally and
has added to a global image of the United States that is deeply
intertwined with its leading corporations.
