Andersen, Kurt

The captivating narrative is at times slowed by a plethora of statistics and data, yet overall, is an illuminating investigation of post-1960s U.S. economic history that will engage readers of contemporary politics. See Rick Perlstein’s Reaganland for a detailed narrative of Reagan’s role in the nation’s shift to the right and his advocacy of pro-business governance.

This engaging work will find a wide and appreciative audience among general readers and scholars alike. [See the author Q&A on p. 130.—Ed.]

A good read both for those who remember the era and for those who wish to better understand that time and its social and political connections to today.
