As Director of the Office of Management and Budget in the early 1980s, David Stockman was a chief architect of the Reagan Revolution—a bold plan to cut taxes and reduce the scope and cost of government. The Triumph of Politics was Stockman's frontline report of the miscalculations, manipulations, and political intrigues that led to its failure. A major publishing event and New York Times bestseller in its day, The Triumph of Politics is still startling relevant to the conduct of Washington politics today.
David A. Stockman was elected as a Michigan congressman in 1976, and joined the Reagan White House in 1981 as budget director. During nearly two decades at the Blackstone Group, where he was one of the early partners, and at Heartland Industrial Partners, a firm he founded, Stockman was a private equity investor. Born in Fort Hood, Texas, Stockman now lives in Connecticut. He is the author of The Great Deformation: How Crony Capitalism Corrupted Free Markets and Democracy.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Collectible - VeryGood. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition Thus. 6.25"x9.5". 654 pages. X-library w/graphics. Red cloth boards w/purple metallic letters on spine. 16 pt. Pantin. DJ design by One & One Studio. Jacket photo by Annie Liebovitz. Spine straight, binding tight, pages clean and bright. DJ pasted to inside book covers. Despite the powerful mandate given to the President by the American people, his program faces increasing difficulties as it encounters bedrock political realities. Even those members of Congress who favor spending cuts in principle hastily vacate the battlefield when this conflicts with powerful demands of their own constituencies. Eventually Stockman, the revolutionary, is forced to accept the reality that his theories, which looked so convincing on paper, have been based on a profound misjudgment about the American political system. Far more than any journalist's expose, The Triumph of Politics is an insider's revelation of what happens when a radical ideology backed by the power of the Presidency runs headlong into the world of personal rivalries and special interests and ignores our continuous national tradition of accommodation and compromise. In telling this story David Stockman has created a work without parallel. Goodreads 3.80. N° de réf. du vendeur 10508
