By the end of the 1980s, many Americans looked at the state of the nation with a renewed optimism. America was the world's only superpower,Communism had been defeated, the economic misery and inflation of the late 1970s and early 1980s had given way to prosperity and vast global wealth, and anew swashbuckling patriotism had entered into the public imagination. This patriotism and optimism was personified by an enduring American president--Ronald Wilson Reagan. The essays in this volume revisit the 1980s in order to examine the factors that contributed to Ronald Reagan's political and cultural triumphs, provide an assessment ofthe political, social, and economic substance and legacy of his policies--not just for Americans but for the shape of the world order.
