"Richard Nixon considered establishing a strong peace-time economy one of his most important political objectives, not least for distinguishing himself from the cautious policies of President Dwight Eisenhower. Using Richard Neustadt's analytical framework of presidential power, Nigel Bowles develops five case studies around President Nixon's economic policies. Bowles's insightful analysis helps us understand the sources of Richard Nixon's authority and power, as well as his use of both." "Nixon's Business is the first book to make systematic use of Neustadt's crucial framework in understanding a specific presidency. It is also the first to analyze empirically the components of Nixon's authority and power and the first to demonstrate the implications of both for understanding the institution of the United States presidency."--Jacket

▪ Abstract  This essay identifies five schools of presidential study and argues that the presidency is better understood for the plurality of scholarly approaches embodied in them. The obstacles to the presidency's study notwithstanding, much more is now known about the presidency as an institution than was the case as recently as the mid-1970s. The essay argues that further research ought ideally to meet three conditions: It must be constitutionally informed and politically nuanced; it must be empirically rich, drawing on primary data in some form; and the investigation of particular cases should proceed with the cases' wider significance in mind, if not necessarily with the explicit intention of generating theory.
