I suggest the AG book to anyone.
The book gets even more interesting when Clinton comes in. Bush hated Greenspan - blamed him, not Perot, for the loss. So there's AG - hated - and the Dems come in and they hate him too. His first meeting with Bill C goes 3 hours instead of 1 and Greenie calls him the most intelligent since Nixon. So, Bill C asks AG what to do and AG tells him you're paying Reagan's tab and you have to get control of this deficit to get the bond market to back down. Clinton basically does it in his first budget and his approval falls to 28%. The rest is history - you can just feel the flame being lit under the greatest economy and bull market of the century. And it ended with a surplus!
