The Power and the Money: The Epic Clashes Between American Titans of Industry and Commanders in Chief
Autor Tevi Troyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 oct 2024
In The Money and the Power, acclaimed presidential historian Tevi Troy takes readers on a riveting journey through the biggest battles between CEOs and the nation’s commander in chief. He unearths the untold stories – both political and personal – that have shaped America.
Troy shows how the vast reach of the federal government become a critical fact of life for every business, entrepreneur, and innovator. Today, companies find themselves navigating a competitive landscape defined by stringent regulations, so top CEOs and key business leaders must influence the legislative and regulatory system. As public affairs teams and government relations experts put forward strategies to survive Washington, CEOs have become the most important warrior on the frontlines. The Money and the Power shows how some of the nation’s most important CEOs forged (and fumbled) relationships with the president.
Troy also shows how the most powerful man in the world depends on CEOs. CEOs provide assistance in the form of personnel, policy insights, and campaign cash, but they also become essential foils for presidents, serving as both allies and convenient enemies.
The Money and the Power reveals an intricate web of power, where CEOs need presidents, and presidents need CEOs. Troy shows how each must step carefully – or risk unpredictable costs and collateral damage. From heavyweights John D. Rockefeller and Mark Zuckerberg to Katherine Graham, Elon Musk, and more, Troy takes readers inside the friendships and the conflicts that shook the American economy and re-shaped America.
In the exciting pages of The Money and the Power, Troy stands at the volatile intersection of business and politics. Drawing on his experiences as bestselling historian and former senior White House aide, Troy offers unique insights and details that shed light on the growing, intertwining behemoths of government and big business – and what it means for the future of our nation.

Recenzii
Praise for Fight House:
“The White House is a dignified seat of government, but it is also bullpen, cockfight, and viper nest. During the Johnson and Nixon presidencies, these rivalries, encouraged by both chief executives, yielded policies contrary to presidential and national intention. Fight House at once illuminates these conflicts and reminds us of their absurd, and sometimes tragic, results. Fight House is a fast read, full of both gossip and deep insight.”―Amity Shlaes, author of Great Society: A New History
“Tevi Troy presents such a vivid and accurate portrait of the strife, sniping, backbiting, leaking, and intrigue in the Reagan White House that I found it perfectly excruciating to read. I mean that as a compliment. Deeply researched, briskly written, and full of judicious, useful lessons, Fight House is just a marvelous book.”―Peter Robinson, the Murdoch Distinguished Policy Fellow at the Hoover Institution and a former speechwriter and special assistant to President Reagan
“Everything about working in the White House is magnified—and nowhere is that more true than in the intensity of staff infighting. Tevi Troy tells the tale of the personalities who played hardball and the warring factions that shaped the modern presidency. It’s a fun and fascinating book—essential to anyone who aspires to serve in the highest office in the land.”―Anthony Scaramucci, founder of Skybridge Capital and former White House Director of Communications
“Fight House is an outstanding contribution to presidential history that reminds us that bitter conflicts within administrations are the norm, not the exception. Because he is that rare combination of historian and former White House aide, Tevi Troy is able to make the behind-the-scenes battles between cabinet officials and presidential aides come alive with deep political insights mixed with subtle wit. This book is a must-read for political junkies, historians, and all future White House transition teams.”―Vincent J. Cannato, associate professor of history at the University of Massachusetts Boston and author of The Ungovernable City: John Lindsay and His Struggle to Save New York
“Tevi Troy has done a superb job of chronicling infighting in the modern White House. I saw it firsthand from the Nixon White House and can vouch for the phenomenon. People already in positions of immense power almost inevitably seek even more. Troy’s analysis is must-reading for any fan of ‘inside politics’ or presidential history.”―Geoff Shepard, former senior member of President Nixon's Domestic Council staff and author of The Real Watergate Scandal
Praise for What Jefferson Read, Ike Watched, and Obama Tweeted:
“This well-researched and highly readable book is rich in such material, and Mr. Troy is one of those rare creatures seldom sighted in the wilds of the academic-cultural-literary complex — an accomplished scholar who is also a first-rate writer.”-- The Washington Times
“The book is an entertaining refresher course on the personalities who have filled the White House. Think of it is as beach reading for nerds, more U.S. News & World Report than Us Weekly.”-- National Review
“It’s a must-read for junkies and campaign operatives.”--Washington Post
“Troy's major contribution is his balanced assessment of how popular culture fundamentally transformed the political game in the last third of the 20th century.”-- The Philadelphia Inquirer
“Everyone should read everything that Tevi Troy writes, so it goes without saying that his new book, What Jefferson Read, Ike Watched, and Obama Tweeted, is worth your while.”-- NRO: The Corner
