Description: "In Jimmy Carter's Economy, Carl Biven traces how the Carter administration developed and implemented economic policy amid multiple crises and explores how a combination of factors beyond the administration's control came to dictate a new paradigm of Democratic Party politics.".

"Based on an examination of original documents and on interviews with many of Carter's principal advisers, Jimmy Carter's Economy is a case study of the challenges facing presidential economic policymakers. Written for historians and political scientists as well as economists, the book is also accessible to general readers with an interest in the transformation of the American political and economic landscape."--BOOK JACKET.
