Summary | Annotation <div>The myth of Ronald Reagan’s greatness has reached epic proportions in recent years. The public rates him as one of the most popular presidents, and Republicans everywhere seek to cast themselves in his image.<p>But, William Kleinknecht reveals, much that has gone wrong in America—including the subprime mortgage crisis and the meltdown of the financial sector—can be traced directly to Reagan’s policies. Boom-and-bust cycles, CEO salaries, drug-company scandals, collapsing bridges, plummeting wages for working people, the flight of U.S. manufacturing abroad—these are all products of Reagan’s free-market zealotry and his gutting of the public sector.<i>The Man Who Sold the World</i>is the first book to explode the Reagan myth.</p></div> |
