This book provides evaluations of American presidents over the
course of 66 years of U.S. economic history, using quantitative
data to provide credible, defensible answers to controversial
questions like "Whose economic policies were more effective, Ronald
Reagan's or Bill Clinton's?" The President as Economist: Scoring
Economic Performance from Harry Truman to Barack Obama provides
eye-opening insights about matters of critical importance for the
future of the United States. Author Richard J. Carroll tackles a
topic that he has researched and been focused on for more than 20
years, providing impartial assessments and rankings of each
presidential administration according to numerous key performance
indicators-quantitative data, not subjective opinions. The final
chapter combines all of the data to present a numeric score
(Presidential Performance Index-PPI) for each administration that
allows an overall ranking of the 11 presidents. The analysis covers
66 years of U.S. economic history, ranging from 1946 through 2011.
The earlier administrations of Harry S. Truman through Jimmy Carter
set the context against which more recent presidencies are judged.
This title will be an invaluable resource for everyone from general
readers to students at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate
levels, as well as journalists, lobbyists, and anyone directly or
indirectly involved in the political process. An appendix provides
the official data upon which the rankings are based
