The other big narrative in Shiller's book is that of the social scientist like himself who is able to stand above the crowd of storytellers, internet trolls, and passive economic agents who spread contagious and harmful narratives, most of the time quite unknowingly. Shiller admits that "this song is probably not an important economic narrative" and that "[s]ome might say it is not even a real narrative because the words of the song do not tell a story." Most of the stories Shiller holds responsible for creating speculative bubbles or causing major economic damages are conservative narratives, from those advocating savings and frugality during the first years of the Great Depression to those, like the Laffer curve narrative, that led to the tax cuts of the 1980s.

Released back in 1980, the slasher film I Terror Train i [1] has quite a bit in common with Soufan's narrative of those derailing the war on terror after 11 September 2001. "No" he said again "but I know human nature."... I couldn't believe that someone with no interrogation or terrorism experience was sent by the CIA on this mission [running "our country's high-level detainee interrogation program"]." Meanwhile Abu Zubaydah led him on with tidbits ... [and] provided him information that was vague [,] superficial, and nonactionable"[11] Here's Soufan from I The Black Banners i on someone called Boris, a CIA contractor and psychologist whom, I am assuming, is largely based on Mitchell.

He convincingly shows that Trump hinted at his own fraudulent core in Trump's ghost-written 1987 I The Art of the Deal i - Trump likens the deal-maker to an artist, only to cite several dishonest "artists." Roth is aware that not everyone shares his view of Trump, but he reassures us, "Concern about President Trump's public persona being volatile and impulsive must recognize the stabilizing framework of Trump's values of love and respect for loss" (p. 16). In another possible example of unconscious family dynamics, his father sent Trump to boarding school when Trump was twelve, the same age his father had been when Trump's paternal grandfather died.

The concept of a unitary executive at the federal level is informed by a variety of propositions and constitutional interpretations contending that the entire executive branch should be hierarchically subordinated to the president alone. Part II, "Phantoms Unleashed", examines the contest between the unitary executive and the Deep State during the Trump administration. Indeed, as a technical matter, one well versed in contemporary public administrative research might wonder whether a full-fledged unitary executive on the scale of the U.S. national government I can i generate cost-effective, or even just effective, administration.

Advising Nixon: The White House Memos of Patrick J. Buchanan. Writing on November 10, 1972 (shortly after Election Day), Buchanan was optimistic: Nixon was the "Republican FDR", potentially building a new political regime, or "dynasty" in Buchanan's pre-Skowronek lexicon (291). Not only was Buchanan a talented wordsmith for the president, but he was also a prolific memo writer to him and other key aides, such as White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman, on a variety of political and policy topics. [Extracted from the article]
