Based on 18 months of reporting, Woodward’s seventeenth book, The Price of Politics, shows in full detail how and why today’s major issue is still the economy.

Woodward intimately examines how President Obama and the highest profile Republican and Democratic leaders in Congress attempted to restore the American economy and improve the federal government’s fiscal condition over three and one half years.

Providing verbatim, day-by-day, even hour-by-hour accounts, the book shows what really happened, what drove the debates, negotiations, and struggles that define, and will continue to define, the American future.

Woodward will be in conversation with the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Dana Priest.
