More About This Textbook

Overview

In Ronald Reagan and the Politics of Freedom, Andrew E. Busch goes beyond economic and foreign policies to examine Reagan's understanding of statesmanship. Busch analyzes Reagan's conscious attempt to strengthen the separation of powers, federalism, and traditional rhetoric, and his efforts to revive the notion of limited government in a Constitutional Republic. In this important new study, Busch concludes that Ronald Reagan's politics of freedom_found in his discourse, policy, and coalition-building_achieved significant successes in the 1980s and beyond.

Editorial Reviews

Choice
The ordered liberty vantage point provides an interesting overview from which to see the Reagan presidency as well as its egalitarian and libertarian critics. Recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above.
Claremont Review
For its intellingent and scrappy defense of Reagan's economic, social, and defense policies, Busch's volume wins a place on the short shelf of indispensable books about the Reagan years.
Conservative Book Club
Andrew E. Busch is the first scholar to assess Reagan's presidency by the goal he set for himself: enhancing American freedom.
