Abstract
The conventional wisdom about American economic policy during the last decade is that there was a basic continuity of policy through the conservative Reagan and Bush presidencies, and a sharp break to new economic policies under Clinton. Here I argue that continuity in economic policy under Reagan and Bush is more apparent than real, and that the Clinton administration, with a few exceptions, has followed in the path of the Bush administration.
