American Business and Public Policy is a study of the politics of
foreign trade. It challenges fifty years of writ-ing on pressure
politics. It includes nine hundred interviews with heads of
corporations, including 166 of the 200 largest corporations;
another 500 interviews with congressmen, lob-byists, journalists,
and opinion leaders; and eight community studies making this book
the most intensive survey in print of the politics of business. It
is a realistic behavioral examination of a major type of economic
decision. The authors introduce their study with a history of the
tariff as a political issue in American politics and a history of
American tariff legislation in the years from Europe's trade
recovery under the Marshall Plan to the challenge of the Common
Market. They examine in succession the changing attitudes of the
general public and the political actions of the business community,
the lobbies, and Congress. American Business and Public Policy is a
contribution to social theory in several of its branches. It is a
contribution to understanding the business community, to the social
psychol-ogy of communication and attitude change, to the study of
political behavior in foreign policy. American Business and Public
Policy is at once a study of a classic issue in American politics
the tariff; decision-making, particularly the relation of economic
to social-psycho-logical theories of behavior; business
communication what businessmen read about world affairs, what
effect foreign travel has on them, where they turn for political
advice, and how they seek political help; pressure politics,
lobbying, and the Congressional process.
