Sommario/riassunto

Using Richard E. Neustadt's analytical framework of presidential power, Bowles develops five case studies around Nixon's economic policies. These analyses help readers understand the sources of Nixon's authority and power and his use of both, and demonstrate the implications of authority and power for understanding the institution of the presidency.
