Yet by the time he left office, the nation's economic and social policies had instead lurched dramatically rightward, exacerbating the inequalities so troubling in our own time. This book reveals why Clinton's expansive agenda was a fabulous failure, and why its demise still haunts us today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNelson Lichtenstein and Judith Stein show how the administration's progressive reformers—people like Robert Reich, Ira Magaziner, Laura Tyson, and Joseph Stiglitz—were stymied by a new world of global capitalism that heightened Wall Street influence, undermined domestic manufacturing, and eviscerated the labour movement. Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, and Al Gore proved champions of this financialised world. Meanwhile, Clinton divided his own party when he relied on Republican votes to overhaul welfare, liberalise trade, and deregulate the banking and telecommunications industries. Even the economic boom Clinton ushered in—which tamed unemployment and sent the stock market soaring in what Alan Blinder and Janet Yellen termed a \"fabulous decade\"—ended with a series of exploding asset bubbles that his neoliberal economic advisors neither foresaw nor prevented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Fabulous Failure\u003c\/em\u003e is a study of ideas in action, some powerfully persuasive, others illusionary and self-defeating. It explains why and how the Clinton presidency's progressive statecraft floundered in a world where the labour movement was weak, civil rights forces quiescent, and corporate America ever more powerful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46829853704428,"sku":"9780691245508","price":79.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2442223482434.jpg?v=1758264530"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/judith-stein.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
