Making Economic Policy in Congress (AEI studies) - Paperback

by Allen Schick (Author)

An essential deep-dive into how the U.S. Congress has shaped economic policy since 1789, Allen Schick traces the evolution from war debt repayment and the national bank to taxation, tariffs, budget control, and the seismic post-New Deal shift that transformed government's role in the economy, a must-read for understanding the legislative forces behind fiscal policy, trade policy, regulatory decisions, and the ongoing battle over the size and responsibility of the federal government.

This book explores the many ways that Congress makes economic decisions.
