Book excerpt: WE THE PRESIDENTS explores how today's political and economic issues were shaped over the last century by American presidents from Warren G. Harding through Donald J. Trump. Most presidential biographies portray a single president, often focusing on the give and take of politics, issues irrelevant to a modern reader. In contrast, WE THE PRESIDENTS provides a sweep of American presidential history from 1920 through 2020 discussing presidential decisions and policies-including immigration, healthcare, income inequality, taxation and the tension between personal liberty and public responsibility-which affect every American today.
