Little however has been written to show that he was also the populist President who set the political economic course for the United States to win it merely 40 years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this timely biography, E Ray Canterbery captures the spirit of the man, who first and foremost, was a politician who crafted political progams such as the Fair Deal program, full-employment program, New Deal program, reconversion, stabilization, and agriculture progams through the lens of progressiveness. He focuses on Truman's populist economics by charting Truman's early years, the makings of his populist character, his beginnings in Washington, Communism and the Truman Doctrine, the campaign of 1948, the Marshall Plan, the firing of General MacArthur, and the Korean War. While the economic aspects of his term were fundamentally that of war and peace, Canterbery analyses in great depth Truman's economic policies and instruments, such as the Employment Act of 1946 and the President's Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) — results of Truman's presidency that other authors of books on Truman have largely ignored.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eHarry S Truman: The Economics of a Populist President\u003c\/i\u003e shows how Truman should be remembered: As a progressive politician whose populist policies rank him among the “near great” Presidents in the tradition of William Jennings Bryan, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Early Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Political Making of a Populist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMr Truman Goes to Washington\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Economics of War and Peace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Employment Act of 1946 and the President's Council of Economic Advisers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunism and the Truman Doctrine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Populist Campaign of 1948\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Marshall Plan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruman's Defining Test: The Korean War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfterward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Economic historians, researchers, students and members of the public who are interested in American history and the early origins of the Cold War.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185347150064,"sku":"9789814541855","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814541855_p0.jpg?v=1763692107","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814541855","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
