Summary "Richard Nixon considered establishing a strong peace-time economy one of his most important political objectives, not least for distinguishing himself from the cautious policies of President Dwight Eisenhower. Using Richard 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 Richard Nixon's authority and power, as well as his use of both." "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."--Jacket.
