Reagan’s positive agenda of low tax rates, high economic growth, and free enterprise worked its magic. Reagan told Eureka College students in February 1984 that free-enterprise advocates had captured the moral high ground against socialism because they had a plan for a freer and more prosperous society. In July 1987 he said the intellectual debate had in fact changed: “America astonished the world. Chicago school economics, supply-side economics, call it what you will — I noticed that it was even known as Reaganomics at one point until it started working [laughter] — all of it is fast becoming orthodoxy. It’s not just that Milton Friedman or Friedrich Von Hayek or George Stigler have won Nobel Prizes; other younger names, unheard of a few years ago, are now also celebrated.” President Reagan, the Midwest optimist, ignored the critics and delivered his free-market message to the American people. Today’s leaders can still learn from his economic optimism, which was built on some very solid ground.
