Fluctuating Fortunes: The Political Power of Business in America
Within the last three decades, the power of American business to influence legislation and policy has fluctuated dramatically. According to the author (business & public policy, Berkeley), the performance of the economy and the political power of business are inversely related. Vogel traces in detail the factors influencing the fortunes of business by concentrating on four issues: the regulation of corporate social conduct; tax policy; labor-management relations; and energy policy. This impressive, well-written history is a valuable contribution. Highly recommended.- Marilyn Rosenthal, Nassau Community Coll.
