Does a governments fate at the ballot box hinge on the state of the economy? Is it inflation, unemployment, or income that makes the difference? What triggers economic voting for or against the incumbent do voters look at their pocketbooks, or at the national accounts?

These are some of the questions considered by Michael LewisBeck in this major crossnational study of the effect of economic conditions on voting behavior in the Western European democracies and the United States.
