Hardback. Condition: Very Good. John Yochelson was seventeen when he first heard President Kennedy's call, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." Responding to the call to public service, he had a front-row seat from the mid-1970s through the mid-1990s, when the power game in Washington was played across party lines. Loving and Leaving Washington is his inside account of the lives of public servants from the perspective of a lifelong moderate. The Center for Strategic and International Studies brought Yochelson into close contact with such heavyweights as Henry Kissinger and Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker; work with the Council on Competiveness kept him at the center of action. But the rise of bare-knuckled partisanship soured him on DC. In 2001 he left power politics to fight for a cause that he believed in, launching a San Diego-based nonprofit to increase the participation of women and underrepresented minorities in science and engineering. Funding realities and family ties, however, drew him back to the Beltway. The bittersweet experience of disengaging and returning to Washington prompted Yochelson's candid look at the loss of middle ground in U.S. politics and the decline of public trust in government. In this illuminating memoir, he reflects on the current generation's dedication to their country and considers the rewards, limitations, and uncertain future of public service. …

Hardcover. Small 4to. Black cloth with gilt spine lettering, pictorial dust jacket. xxi, 274pp. Near fine/fine. Text block faintly age toned, per usual. Tight and superb first edition of this gathering of essays by a baker's dozen of economics, finance and political academics. William E. Brock (1930-2021), Tennessee representative and senator (1963-77) and Ronald Reagan's Secretary of Labor (1985-87), introduces it -- and at top of front flyleaf he boldly inscribes and signs in black fineline: "Bob / You are the best / example I know of / thoughtful, effective, decent / business leadership. I / thank you for that -- and / for your friendship. / With Vocal Respect / Bill Brock." Beneath this, editor Yochelson then inscribes and signs in black fineline "For Bob Malott / With deepest respect / and highest regard / John Yochelson / Jan 1988." Robert Malott (1926-2018) was a noted Chicago business leader, CEO of FMC Corporation, Republican politico and philanthropist. Outstanding presentation copy.…
