The people who run our government are affected by money just like
the rest of us. Over the years, many of these officials have
worried about meeting mortgage payments, holding off creditors, and
avoiding bankruptcy. Others made fortunes by devoting their time to
supervising their business interests. Either way, these
distractions affected the lives of everyday citizens--from the
price of shirts to the decisions for war or peace. In school,
students are taught about governmental principles underlying
political controversies, but instructors seldom talk about money
that presidents and cabinet members stood to gain or lose,
depending on who prevailed in a political dispute. This book will
help fill the gaps in that knowledge. To ignore the business
activities of our leaders is to ignore most of their adult lives.
Having such awareness allows voters to see motivations in
government decisions that may otherwise be obscure. Concentrating
on presidents and cabinet members, from the birth of the U.S.
through the Carter administration, this book tells how they and
their associates gained and lost wealth, and how this affected
their nation's well-being.
