More about the book

Focusing on the transformative impact of Ronald Reagan's presidency, the book analyzes the shift in U.S. policies that diverged from previous administrations and global norms. It highlights how these policies facilitated a significant upward redistribution of wealth, benefitting a small elite while sidelining broader economic gains. The analysis critiques the bipartisan acceptance of Reaganism, suggesting that this trajectory is unsustainable and contrasts sharply with practices in other wealthy nations.
