Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cross and Reaganomics: Conservative Christians Defending Ronald Reagan, by Eric R. Crouse, offers important insights on why Reaganomics was a major reason conservative Christians supported Reagan at the polls. On election night in November 1980, Americans witnessed the victory of a conservative to the presidency. With the United States experiencing economic stagnation and high inflation, many were hopeful of Ronald Reagan’s deeds matching his optimistic rhetoric of America’s potential. What followed was a decade of economic transformation, military buildup, and a political awakening of conservatism. One story that has not received much attention is the relationship between conservative Christians and Ronald Reagan’s economic policies. Crouse argues that conservative Christians were among the strongest champions of limited government, free enterprise (particularly small business), and anticommunism. A surprising number of conservative Christian leaders discussed the works of major free market economists. Conservative Christians embraced and tapped into the traditional American values of individual opportunity, personal responsibility, and human freedom—all themes they believed were front and center in Reaganomics. Although American pluralism prevented any plan to Christianize the nation by politics, in the sphere of economics conservative Christians did witness political and cultural gains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a domestic policy advisor to Ronald Reagan, Bruce Bartlett was one of the originators of Reaganomics, the supply-side economic theory that conservatives have clung to for decades. In The New American Economy, Bartlett goes back to the economic roots that made Impostor a bestseller and abandons the conservative dogma in favor of a policy strongly based on what's worked in the past. Marshalling compelling history and economics, he explains how economic theories that may be perfectly valid at one moment in time under one set of circumstances tend to lose validity over time because they are misapplied under different circumstances. Bartlett makes a compelling, historically-based case for large tax increases, once anathema to him and his economic allies. In The New American Economy, Bartlett seeks to clarify a compelling and way forward for the American economy.

Download or read book Reaganomics Vs the Modern Economy written by Michael Douglas Gilbert and published by North Loop Books. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the political spectrum, disgruntled Americans have two things in common: Reaganomics as an economics policy has caused most of their economic problems; Reaganomics as a political strategy has rendered their government dysfunctional. Reaganomics vs the Modern Economy defines the modern economy including the critical contributions of the public sector. It describes the history of political frustrations and resistance to government that led to Ronald Reagan's election. We learn how market forces, not Reaganomics, ended stagflation in the 1980s. But confusion and Reagan's personal popularity continue to produce unworkable policies. The five categories of government economic functions are determined by inadequacies in private sector markets: total market irrelevance, internal market defects, predominant market insufficiency, acute market insufficiency, and general market insufficiency. The public sector must be a component of our modern economy if we are to overcome inadequate employment, the effects of income and wealth maldistribution, the excessive influence of the financial sector, and unaffordable health care and post-secondary education and training. Michael Gilbert shows how we can reduce dissension and division in the country by implementing policies that meet the requirements of our modern economy. The failures of Reaganomics are our guide for what not to do Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reaganomics" was the most ambitious attempt to change the course of American economic policy of any administration since the New Deal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many years have passed but even among the most informed of us there is very little agreement about the accomplishments and failures of Ronald Reagan's economic policies. Politicians, commentators and common voters alike have been arguing about their efficacy and their legacy ever since the inception. The controversy often seems to reflect people's political and ideological stands, rather than a sober analysis of the facts. People on the left of the political spectrum are persuaded that Reagan's economic policies ended up shamelessly favoring the haves versus the have-nots, while "Reaganomics" and "supply-side economics" became bywords for "trickle-down economics", giving more to the rich, cutting welfare for the poor and leaving them to their own devices. Moreover, in this view, Reagan contributed to a large dismantling of the American industrial base, leaving many jobless and hitting hard on blue collar workers and the middle class. This aspect in particular received renewed attention during Donald Trump's successful presidential campaign: interestingly, now it was a "right wing" President who was favouring blue collar jobs, while liberals appeared to have lost any interest whatsoever in working class jobs and increasingly regarded them as outdated and unworthy of the XXI century. For people on the right, Reagan has achieved almost a cult status, more than any other President in living memory. These Republicans argue that Reagan's supply-side revolution revitalized the American economy after a lost decade in the seventies, putting the country back on the path to growth, making fiscal policy more business friendly and reducing the menacing power of the government to affect people's economic decisions. But Reagan was many things to many different people.

Download or read book Interrupting Capitalism written by Matthew A. Shadle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decade since the financial crisis of 2008, governments around the world have struggled to develop strategies to stabilize precarious markets, encourage growth, and combat mounting wealth inequality. In the United States, the recovery from that crisis has exacerbated the fears of the working and middle classes and pitted those classes against the wealthy. Although we participate every day in economic life as workers, consumers, employers, or activists, we often experience the economy as a mysterious force that we cannot control, or fully understand. Matthew Shadle argues that Catholics ought to be able to draw on their faith to help navigate and make sense of economic life, but too often the effort to get ahead or just stay afloat drowns out faith's appeal. Interrupting Capitalism proposes a new strategy for Christian economic discipleship. Rather than engage the two theological poles of continuity and rupture, Christians should interrupt capitalism: neither whole-heartedly endorsing global capitalism nor seeking to dismantle it. This means "breaking into" the economy, embracing those aspects that enhance human well-being while transforming the market in a spirit of solidarity. Shadle argues that all three of the dominant theological approaches dealing with economic life-the progressive, neoconservative, and liberationist-are theologies of continuity. A fourth approach, a communitarian one, he believes, can best embody the strategy of interrupting capitalism. The Catholic tradition, including its tradition of social teaching, provides a cultural structure that, along with their own social context, conditions how Catholics think about and engage in economic activity. Drawing on the resources of the tradition, theologians reflect on this activity, giving it a theoretical justification and offering correctives. Both the experience of ordinary Catholics and the work of theologians feed into new articulations of Catholic social teaching. Offering an overview of Catholic thought since the Second World War, Shadle begins with the experience of Catholics in Western Europe at mid-century, moving to Latin America and the United States in the 1970s and 80s, and then concluding with the phenomenon of globalization.
