The Price of Politics chronicles the inside story of how President Obama and the U.S. Congress tried, and failed, to restore the American economy and set it on a course to fiscal stability. Woodward pierces the secretive world of Washington policymaking once again, with a close-up story crafted from meeting notes, documents, working papers, and interviews with key players, including President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner. Woodward lays bare the broken relationship between President Obama and the Congress.
In a new afterword, What Is Really Happening in Washington's Economic Wars, Woodward details the further negotiations after Obama's reelection, when he and Congress faced the fiscal cliff only to end in a perilous stalemate.
