Book synopsis

James Carville famously reminded Bill Clinton throughout 1992 that "it's the economy, stupid". Robert M. Collins re-examines the history of the United States from Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Bill Clinton, focusing on the federal government's determined pursuit of economic growth. After tracing the emergence of growth as a priority during FDR's presidency, Collins explores the record of successive administrations, highlighting both their success in fostering growth, and its partisan uses. Collins reveals that the obsession with growth appears not only as a matter of policy, but as an expression of Cold War ideology - both a means to pay for the arms build-up and proof of the superiority of the United States' market economy.
