About this book
A comprehensive and authoritative work on relationships between the economy and politics in the years from Eisenhower through Reagan. Hibbs identifies which groups “win” and “lose” from inflations and recessions and shows how voters’ perceptions and reactions to economic events affect the electoral fortunes of political parties and presidents.
Reviews
Douglas Hibbs is a leading figure in the field of comparative political economy… Reading (or rather rereading) these pieces does impress one with the significance of the issues Hibbs has tackled and the sophistication of his techniques.

-- Daniel Pearson Perspective
The work is animated by the author’s Democratic partisanship and his strong command of complex analytical tools. Economic analysis is often placed in the service of political argument, but Hibbs does so with unusual sophistication. The results are familiar but their derivation is impressive.
