Abstract: Abstract When Ronald Reagan was elected President, many people spoke of the “Reagan Revolution.” The Reagan presidency was certainly quite different than anything we had seen before. We had entered an age where image was, indeed, everything. Our political community was not the only thing that was undergoing radical reorientation, but our economic lives were changing as well. This chapter reveals that “Reaganomics,” one of the many slogans associated with the newly elected President, was a simple, one-word amalgamation of economics, politics, and ideology.
