From the New York Times bestselling author, the fascinating story of US economic policy from Kennedy to COVID—filled with lessons for today

In this book, Alan Blinder, one of the world's most influential economists and one of the field's best writers, draws on his deep firsthand experience to provide an authoritative account of sixty years of monetary and fiscal policy in the United States. Spanning twelve presidents, from John F. Kennedy to Joe Biden, and eight Federal Reserve chairs, from William McChesney Martin to Jerome Powell, this is an insider's story of macroeconomic policy that hasn't been told before—one that is a pleasure to listen to, and as interesting as it is important.

Focusing on the most significant developments and long-term changes, Blinder traces the highs and lows of monetary and fiscal policy, which have by turns cooperated and clashed through many recessions and several long booms over the past six decades. From the fiscal policy of Kennedy's New Frontier to Biden's responses to the pandemic, the book takes listeners through the stagflation of the 1970s, the conquest of inflation under Jimmy Carter and Paul Volcker, the rise of Reaganomics, and the bubbles of the 2000s before bringing the story up through recent events—including the financial crisis, the Great Recession, and monetary policy during COVID-19.

This deeply insightful and extraordinarily well-researched history lays out the major levers of fiscal and monetary policy, and how various historical actors pulled them over the last 60 years all the way up to President Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. It makes clear that Republicans have scarcely any commitment to fiscal conservatism and bear the primary responsibility for driving up the largest increases in the Federal debt. If you’re looking for a clear and objective analysis of monetary and fiscal positions over time, this is a great read.

Tremendous clarity and objectivity

Alan Blinder has an easy prose that reads like a comforting novel for economists like myself who have a PhD and worked at the Fed, IMF, World Bank, Hedge Fund industry, and a G20 ministry of finance. No true surprises here for us but a great overarching view on monetary and fiscal policy in the United States in the last 60 years. A must read for young economists and professors teaching US economic history (and history of macroeconomic thought).

Great and easy reading for experienced professional economists

Not meant for a general audience.
Great for econ folks wanting to listen to an extensive lit review.

Great!

The democrat-good republican-bad bias was unexpected and a little much. Often D's policy efforts are treated as right-minded w/o need for justification, while R policies are described as one-dimensional, herd politics, and occasionally even mean-spirited. Some good food for thought, though. Narration is fantastic, particularly enjoyed quotes from Nixon :).

Listen for Nixon's Sake

Sentences duplicated a dozen or so times during performance, as if editor didn’t do a final check. The performance itself is excellent but the editing has this irritating flaw. Amazon should do better for the price it charges for audible books.

Many duplications in verbal text

This book makes you feel like you are attending an Alan Blinder lecture! 👏👏👏👏
A great professor, economist, philosopher, government advisor, expert intellectual writer and many other accolades, made yet another great book.
No surprise there.
It’s a thorough account of the US monetary and fiscal history and a necessary read for all students and life long learners.
I really appreciated the neatly organized timeline narrative.
Blinder’s themes were more thorough and well organized than the many books, talks, interviews and movies made in the last 60plus years on the financial booms, busts, crises and events impacting the US economy.
If all my teachers/classes were taught by Alan Blinder or with the same detail, fervor and gusto, I would be a genius…. or at the very least, healthy, wealthy and wise.
Thank you.

Thank you, Janet Yelling.

Excellent

Overall, the book is a fantastic accounting of the monetary and fiscal policymaking decisions from 1961-2021. While Blinder provides his own political views at times, the book is still very even-handed. Further, this book is accessible and useful for academics, policy wonks, and the intellectually curious general public. This book should be required reading for any Fed watchers, deficit hawks, and policymakers--staff and principles.

On the performance side, there were multiple duplicative statements, which can be blamed on improper editing of the final recording. However, through happy coincidence, these mistaken reiterations actually provide a nice opportunity to drive the author's point home at times.

Great Book, Performance Needed Editing

Blinder provides a thorough account of fiscal and monetary policy actions over time. This includes the expansive policies during the Great Recession and Great Lockdown. But there is a bias toward increasing government action when the history indicates government should have done less if anything.

Good Overview, But Biased Toward Government Action

very biased. interesting to hear the left perspective but it would have been better to share both perspectives equally to really get a clear picture of what happened in the past. informative, but only half the rational to evaluate the past so it makes me feel like I can't trust it exactly because there are many instances where you can just tell he is not sharing a non biased opinion.

very far left
