I found this book very helpful, in that it provides a lot of data to back up its arguments. I would use this book to debate with friends. Republicans have long benefited from the assumption that they are the party of fiscal responsibility and prosperity, an assumption that the authors demonstrated to be ill-founded. Overall, reading this book was an enlightening experience.Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I was surprised with the results of Deitrick's and Goldfarb's delving into the connection between political parties and the economy. I had always assumed that the economy fared better under a certain political party, but if their data is correct, my assumptions were totally wrong.I found the short bios of each president and how the economy flourished or stalled during each President's term in office both interesting and informative. I have to admit I'm a little skeptical of some of the results however, because I feel that some Presidents who did not fare well on their lists inherited some economic messes which were difficult to reverse. Also, a President is only one man and doesn't control the economy on his own. I know that they included in their PRES Rules the fact that a President needs to 'lead as a statesman, not as a partisan, but even the best intentioned man can do only so much if he has a Congress that will not work with him. Overall though, I really liked this book. I feel that it is a good thing to review history and economic history is an especially important area that all Americans should study if they want to survive financially in an economy that is constantly changing.

What I had read was fun and interesting. More laterEsta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I agree with the reviewer who noted that the e-book format makes this book a difficult one to read and understand. When the graphs are such that they take up two adjacent pages, but you can only see one at a time, it renders them virtually worthless as an illustration of the material the authors are trying to convey. I could only make it through the first few chapters and did not finish the book. Therefore, I will refrain from any review of the content and leave it as a review of the format of the book as an e-book. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. As I do not agree with the 99% vs. 1% class warfare argument, and as I believe that the Federal Reserve should be eliminated, I will simply refrain from giving an opinion on this book.sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Which U.S. Presidents have been the best and worst economic stewards for our nation, the business community, and the average American family? Which political party has demonstrated superior economic performance while serving in the White House? Which economic principles have led to each President's success or failure? What have our elected officials and the voters learned from these results? Bulls, Bears, and the Ballot Box will examine these and many other questions. The answers will surprise you. The authors review 80 years of our nation's economic history from the Great Depression and Herbert Hoover, to the Great Recession and George W. Bush; a time period in which the Democratic and Republican Parties occupied the Oval Office for precisely 40 years each. This is where the similarity ends. The authors explore this unique comparative opportunity by using historical data, as well as statistical analysis, to objectively score the Presidents and the political parties under their customized ranking system. Using their Presidential Rules for Economic Success (PRES Rules) they explain the economic stumbles and triumphs posted by these 13 presidents as CEO's of the American economy. Bulls, Bears, and the Ballot Box cuts through all of the hyperbole and mantra. It is a "must read" for all voters - independents, liberals and conservatives alike. This book may change your vote in 2012; it will certainly challenge your thinking and mainstream political beliefs. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
