This text introduces students to the interrelationship of politics and economics in American public policymaking: how economic concerns have been legislated into law since Franklin Roosevelt's time, and how politics affects the economy and the making of public policy.

Topics covered include:

  • How to measure various indicators of economic performance

  • How the U.S. economy works (domestically and internationally)

  • How and why policymakers act to stabilize an economy in an economic downturn.

The book also covers major social insurance programs and the current fiscal issues concerning current and future costs. The book concludes with a full chapter case study on the Obama administration's response to the Great Recession and its dealings with Congress, including the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
