"America's Failing Economy and the Rise of Ronald Reagan" by Eric R. Crouse offers an in-depth analysis of the economic upheavals in the United States during the 1970s and their impact on the political landscape. The book highlights the collapse of Keynesian economic theory and the associated challenges that led to Ronald Reagan's election. Crouse draws on a variety of sources, including economic literature, memoirs of economists and politicians, as well as media reporting, to elucidate the complex relationships between economic decline and political revolution. The study demonstrates how stagflation and the failed economic strategies of the Carter administration paved the way for a new political agenda based on the principles of a smaller government and individual freedom. This work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the economic and political history of America.
