Nixon's Economy

Allen Matusow digs deep into presidential papers, Haldeman notes, and Ehrlichman records to build a documented case for how Nixon shaped — and manipulated — economic policy, and the American Historical Review and Wall Street Journal both confirmed this is serious, insightful scholarship. The prose is accessible for the density of material, though one reviewer noted the macroeconomic context of the early 1960s is underdeveloped. Readers with an appetite for postwar political-economic history will find it genuinely rewarding.
