| Summary |
"Whether fiscal policy conversion is seen as a good or bad occurrence, this book shall unite both left and right to better explain the process. Students and academics of international political economy, public policy and politics will find this book a good addition to their reading lists."--Jacket. |

"It is often assumed that left-of-center governments in the US and Britain supported policies that would lead to ever-increasing public spending and higher taxes. Right-of-center governments, by way of contrast, are expected to support policies that reduce public spending and lower taxes. These characterizations were reinforced with the advent of Reaganomics and Thatcherite economic policy in the 1980s." |
|
"The elections of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair in the 1990s paradoxically saw the consolidation and completion of critical aspects of the Reagan-Thatcher fiscal agenda, a process that Fiscal Policy from Reagan to Blair critically analyzes. It has been previously thought that this process of adopting common fiscal policies was caused by economic integration and globalization, but this book reveals a much more comprehensive explanation - and one that includes domestic factors." |
