Paul Musgrave Writes about the Impact of Past Presidents on Future Presidencies

In an article entitled “Past Presidents, Presidential Legacies, and the Future of the United States,” Paul Musgrave, Assistant Professor of Political Science at UMass Amherst, writes, “Presidents’ views of the future structure their choices in the present. Often that is for the good, as when a historically minded president shies away from a rash course of action because of fears about how such an action might look to posterity."
