When it comes to predictingsuccessful innovation, a willingness to apply the empirical andtheoretical rigor of the scientific method to prove what will workin the real world has been n

Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Lincoln's political genius in this highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president. On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires

This book describes and analyses the activities and proceduresthrough which the professional economist may advise on matters ofpublic policy, specifically on the performance of an economicsystem. The author shows that the decision-making component withina system may be defined in terms of optimal policies for attainingwell-specified objectives, but that the choice of rules by whichthe system is governed must remain 'outside' the system due to itsdependence upon the legislative process. He proposes a 'generatingmechanism' for arriving at public policy choices based on theinteraction between the economic system and the legislativeprocess.
