Richard Nixon considered establishing a strong peacetime economy
one of his most important political objectives. Using Richard E.
Neustadt's analytical framework of presidential power, Nigel Bowles
develops five case studies around President Nixon's economic
policies. Bowles's insightful analysis helps us understand the
sources of Nixon's authority and power, as well as his use of both.
For each of the cases, Bowles considers the president's bargaining
advantages: his constitutional and statutory authority,
presidential reputation, popular prestige, and personal qualities.
He then answers Neustadt's twin questions: ""What was the
president's inheritance?"" and ""What was his legacy?"" The cases
Bowles has chosen represent fiscal policy, wage and price policy,
international monetary policy, and domestic monetary policy.
Through these analyses, Bowles offers new perspectives on Nixon's
use of authority and power, his dealings with and views of senior
politicians and power-brokers; his ruthlessness and political
ingenuity; the ways his experiences as congressman, senator, and
vice president shaped his approach to the presidency; and his
subordination of other objectives to his drive for re-election in
1972. ""Nixon's Business"" is the first book to make systematic use
of Neustadt's crucial framework in understanding a specific
presidency. It is also the first to analyze empirically the
components of Nixon's authority and power and the first to
demonstrate the implications of both for understanding the
institution of the United States Presidency.
