Is the federal budget deficit a result of congressional deadlocks,
gross miscalculation of economic trends, or a Republican strategy to
tie the budgetary hands of future Democratic leadership? To what
extend does the partisan split between Congress and the executive
branch constrain the president's agenda? In this volume, political
scientists and economists tackle these and many other contentious
issues, offering a variety of analytical perspectives. Certain to
provoke controversy, this interdisciplinary volume brings together
policy experts to provide a coherent analysis of the most important
economic policy changes of the 1980s. Through a detailed examination
of voting patterns, monetary and fiscal policies, welfare spending,
tax reform, minimum wage legislation, the savings and loan collapse,
and international trade policy, the authors explore how politics can
influence the direction of economic policymaking.
