Comment: Confrontation or Cooperation for Mutual Gain

Macey, Jonathan
Abstract
In their insightful article on the role of the president in Positive Political Theory ("PPT"), Moe and Wilson find much to criticize in the work that has gone before them. In particular, they observe that important earlier works by Weingast and Moran, McCubbins and Schwartz, Shepsle, and McCubbins, Noll, and Weingast may be flawed because they fail to accord sufficient respect to the central role of the presidency in U.S. political life.
