Abstract

A little-discussed theory of the American presidency has had startling, if unnoticed, success as a crystal ball. Stephen Skowronek, a chaired professor at Yale, is the author of The Politics Presidents Make: Leadership From John Adams to Bill Clinton, which is a revision of his 1993 book with the same main title but a slightly different subtitle, Leadership From John Adams to George Bush.
