Book Description:

Some of the chief aims of Ronald Reagan's economic agenda were to reduce the "regulatory burden", minimize state intervention, and reinvigorate market mechanisms. Toward these ends, his administration limited antitrust enforcement to technical cases of price-fixing, invoking the Chicago school of economics. Marc Eisner shows that the "Reagan revolution" was but an extension of well-established trends.
