As Director of the Office of Management and Budget in the early 1980s, David Stockman was a chief architect of the Reagan Revolution -- a bold plan to cut taxes and reduce the scope and cost of government. The Triumph of Politics was Stockman's frontline report of the miscalculations, manipulations, and political intrigues that led to its failure. A major publishing event and New York Times bestseller in its day, The Triumph of Politics is still startling relevant to the conduct of Washington politics today.

About the Author

David A. Stockman was elected as a Michigan congressman in 1976 and joined the Reagan White House in 1981. Serving as budget director, he was one of the key architects of the Reagan Revolution plan to reduce taxes, cut spending, and shrink the role of government. He joined Salomon Brothers in 1985 and later became one of the early partners of the Blackstone Group.

During nearly two decades at Blackstone and at a firm he founded, Stockman was a private equity investor. Stockman attended Michigan State University and Harvard Divinity School and then went to Washington as a congressional aide in 1970. He is also the author of the New York Times bestseller The Triumph of Politics: Why the Reagan Revolution Failed.

The Book Fox News/Limbaugh does NOT want you to read...Reagan worshipers beware!

Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

Exposes in great detail the Fake Conservatism of the Reagan Administration...
This book is hated by the National Review and Fox News.

Is it "Conservative" to TRIPLE the National Debt?

Free your mind from the False Paradigm of Demo-rat vs. Republi-con, Con-servative vs Liberal...no politician will save you...as nice as it is to have an outsider in D.C. currently, it won't change much if anything

Politics Never Change

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

The real mechanisms of legislation are clearly defined in 'Triumph'. A naif Stockman entered our national government as though there is a functional and real logic to getting things done. Instead he discovered, as perhaps many suspect, just to what extent special interests control all outcomes. The saddest part of his commentary is the simple fact that 'our' way of doing the nation's business has not changed since Reagan, nor has the appearance of changing in near future. "Act of Congress", concerning writing of the Dodd-Frank law, by Washington Post journalist Kaiser, is a more current version of the same sad story.

Triumph of Politics

A great read about the Reagan Revolution and why it failed written by David Stockman, the head of OMB for the Reagan administration. It makes you aware nobody in this administration had a clue about politics or economics. I fear we may be entering our third round of testing supply side economic theory, and the first two have not ended well. The only one laughing is Laffer.

Good Good In the Trenches Review of the Reagan Revolution

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

Stockman's later book is better, but this one is good too. You just have to know what you are getting into. It is a very detailed account of his time with the Reagan administration, with lots of facts and figures. Nice to learn about why Reagan might not be the figure all the conservatives of today make him out to be. He raised taxes without earning it by cutting me spending, acing the way for today's massive deficit spending.

A Must Read

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

An entertaining and revealing look at the development and failure of the Reagan economic revolution through the eyes of his OMB director. Candid, hard hitting, easy to read and hard to put down, the book truly explores the gap between ideology and political reality. I wish more people would read this book. You would have a better understanding of why nothing changes in DC. A must read.

Excellent behind the scenes look at the "Reagan Revolution"

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2017

Excellent behind the scenes look at the "Reagan Revolution", which Stockman believed in, along with a few others, but nobody else seemed to, including Reagan.

The collision of naive idealism with political reality.

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

As relevant in exposing the fallacy of supply side tax theory as it is in describing our political reality. This should be read by all who will not read it.

Politics Reigns

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2012

Verified Purchase

Congressmen want to serve "Forever" so they funnel as much federal funds as possible into their state they represent. This ensures they will be reelected. Case in point, Senator Byrd of West Virginia, Senator Dole of Kansas........kept farm subsidies on the increase. This has made agriculture the second highest budget item just below the military budget. Even if the incumbent president requests passage of an agenda........it will not pass the strength of Congressional politics. The book should be a required read for everyone to see why congress is rated @ 10% approval.
