Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Lowi's writing style is seductive and his argument extremely persuasive. He addresses the concerns which most scholars have regarding the modern presidency, but he weaves those questions into a framework which reminds us that the office reflects the kind of political regime now in existence. This book... should be required reading for all students, undergraduate and graduate, who want to understand the historic transformation represented by The Personal President." "Mr. Lowi shrewdly describes the Presidency as an increasingly 'plebiscitary' office. Its occupant uses television and polls to commune directly with the masses.... He gives a fascinating reading of the founders' intentions regarding the Presidency." -- Hendrik Hertzberg, New York Times Book Review

Reseña del editor:

Looks at how the office of the presidency has changed, argues that the president has become too central to national politics, and suggests ways to restore the constitutional balance.
