"The Power and the Money invites readers to 'follow the money' on a fascinating journey through a century and a half of American history. Filled with larger-than-life personalities, startling vignettes, and brilliant insights, Tevi Troy's tour de force demonstrates that politics and business can make not only strange bedfellows and marriages of convenience but also, occasionally, relationships built on mutual respect."--Christopher Cox, former SEC Chair and author of Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn
”For 150 years, ever since the United States became an industrial power, its elected presidents have alternately battled or begged assistance of moguls and entrepreneurs who have become unofficial collaborators in managing the economy. From Rockefeller and Morgan to Zuckerberg and Musk, Tevi Troy introduces a Hollywood-worthy cast of power players, all part of a historical rethink as ambitious as it is original.”--Richard Norton Smith, presidential historian and author of many books, including An Ordinary Man: The Surprising Life and Historic Presidency of Gerald R. Ford
"I had the pleasure of working with Tevi Troy and have seen firsthand his deep knowledge of the inner workings of government. In The Power and the Money, Tevi combines his expertise in government with his training as a historian — from the University of Texas, of course — to provide readers with a terrific glimpse into our nation's success. He shows how the relationship between presidents and CEOs has shaped and continues to shape our nation even today. Tevi does this all with fascinating stories and great insights. The Power and the Money is an impressive achievement, and a must read."--Margaret Spellings, former Secretary of Education and President, Bipartisan Policy Center
"Government. Business. Two independent entities? In his insightful book, Dr. Tevi Troy compellingly argues that these two spheres are not only interconnected but have also profoundly shaped the United States together. Those connections have steadily strengthened while also becoming increasingly intricate. If you seek to grasp the nuances of those dynamics and the pivotal figures who have molded them, The Power and the Money is an indispensable primer."--Dr. Noam Wasserman, Dean, Yeshiva University’s Sy Syms School of Business and bestselling author of The Founder's Dilemmas and Life Is a Startup
