- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2016A great, insider's look at political infighting in the Reagan administration, and how policy gets made. If you like this book, I suggest that you subscribe to PCR's website for his current views (paulcraigroberts.com) and consider reading his recent books. I have, and they are excellent.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2000I read this book because I was studying the economic changes brought about by the Reagan victory in 1980. I've seen many favorable and unfavorable mentions of the "supply-side" theory, so I was looking for an account from a true supply-sider. This book fits that need. It desribes the immediate intellectual origins of the policy (but not the fundamental long-term origins). It then describes the political battles that went on in the legislative and executive branches from 1978 to about the end of 1981. I enjoyed reading how the free-market Republicans, Keynesian Republicans and liberals fought it out behind the scenes. These battles shaped the relatively vague "supply-side" theory into a specific government policy. This book is a good view into those years and provides perspective to the more recent government tax and spending issues.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2017If you do want to know all about supply side economics this is the must have book to read
- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2008Dr. Roberts has written a beautifully written and compellingly factual and detailed view of how the supply siders came into "power" and began to dominate economic policy formulation in Washington DC. If you want to know you must read his first hand account. However, I tried to follow up and get his more recent views to answer questions I had that he would not reply to (I know he's a busy man). I found disappointly that he's gone off the deep end politically so God only knows what his positions are today except anti-Bush and anti-American hegemony (his own myth). Too bad.
