Constructive Years is an account of Eisenhower's economic policies by the chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers during Eisenhower's second term. The book begins with an account of the political and economic philosophy that made Eisenhower an advocate of limted, non-interventionist government and competitive, market-directed enterprise economy. Later chapters recount Eisenhower's actual economic administration and his efforts to obtain legislation enabling him to institute programmes in line with his philosophy of American-style individualism.
