Book • 2023
The Dillon Era offers a fresh perspective on C. Douglas Dillon, heir to a vast investment banking fortune and a Republican who served in Democratic administrations.
Richard Aldous explores Dillon's influential role in domestic and foreign policy from the 1950s through the mid-1960s, highlighting his bipartisanship, public duty, and impact on major events such as comprehensive income tax cuts and sustaining the Bretton Woods system.
Drawing on exclusive family archives, the book portrays Dillon as a pivotal figure in Cold War-era American policymaking and one of the most effective Treasury Secretaries of the postwar period.
