About the book
"Good Advice is a systematic study of Jimmy Carter's administration and those who advised him. Daniel E. Ponder discusses the president's policies, the advisors behind each, and how much of that advice ultimately became incorporated into the president's official proposals.". "The book's central thesis is that although presidents have tended to centralize policy-making authority in the White House staff, the dynamics of staff participation and consequent policy success vary from issue to issue, consistent with a theoretical framework Ponder calls staff shift. Ponder further analyzes how presidents decide whose advice to take and whose to ignore and the politics behind those decisions.". "For those interested in presidential studies and American politics, this study takes you into the Oval Office as it explains the process from information- and advice-giving to policy making in the presidency."--BOOK JACKET.
