This paper discusses how the Reagan Administration managed to pass tax cuts in order to cover some of the country's deficit during the 1980's. It looks at the origins of "stagflation" and what Reagan's agenda was. The paper examines the statistics of reduction in government spending and how this was governed by the Administration's policies.
From the Paper
"In the 1970s the economy hit the followers of complacency economics with a severe blow. The 70s began in the middle of a recession and the Vietnam war, and it inherited all of the problems created in the proceeding decade as well as a quasi-war economy. (Sahu, Ronald 1991) Just as the war ended OPEC?s Arab member states declared a kind of economic war on the already inflation plagued U.S. economy by withholding their oil exports. This, coupled with other supply side problems in the U.S. economy ended up creating stagflation, the coupling of economic growth being stagnant while U.S. prices continued to rise. Stagflation made a trade-off between price stability and unemployment seem obsolete. The 1970s ended with the threat of another recession, this was forecasted in 1978 and 1979 but did not actually arrive until 1980, the year Ronald Reagan was elected President."

From the Paper
"High-ranking members of the administration of President Ronald Reagan and President Ronald Reagan himself were amongst the people who violated United States laws during the Iran Contra Affair. The reasons for doing this may be speculative, it is certain that these people arranged the secret sales weapons to the terrorists of Iran. Why did Reagan do this? How did the government allow such actions by members of Reagan?s Administration? Who was the Nicaraguan ?contra? rebels? Was Reagan?s hatred of communism so great that he placed America in danger?"

From the Paper
"The crisis situation resulting in Ronald Reagan's rise to power was the Iranian Hostage event. In 1979 the ruler or Shah of Iran was overthrown by fundamentalist Muslims, younger citizens, college-age students that stormed the US embassy in Tehran and took US hostages, holding them for 444 days (Cannon, 2001; Sharpe & Pemberton, 1998; Henry & Ritter, 1992). This whole event occurred at the end of Jimmy Carter's first term in office, and became a very serious issue in the following election. Ultimately, Ronald Reagan won a very big victory because of this. Ronald did run a couple of times however for President before coming to office. His first loss was in 1976 when he ran against Ford; however, this time Reagan had a strong defense platform, and a campaign he focused on the return of "America to greatness" which helped build his power, reputation and campaign (Young, 2004, p. 18)."

Edmund Morris' "Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan", 2005.
This paper is a critical analysis of Edmund Morris' "Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan", a wild revision of the biographical style combining both fiction and non-fiction.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Edmund Morris' "Dutch: A Memoir of Ronald Reagan", Morris introduces himself into the narrative both as a true eyewitness and as a fictional one, who is both older and more American than the authentic Morris and lives a life oddly paralleled to Reagan's life. The author points out that, while "Dutch" clearly is not a traditional biography, it adheres to the most important aspects of the fundamental biographical style in that it provides the reader with ample information about Reagan through the most significant moments of his life. The paper relates that Morris developed this style because, despite having been paid more than $2.9 million to write an official biography, Morris found himself deterred by a calculated silence on Reagan's part, which left the author grappling to find who Reagan really was as a man.
From the Paper
"Throughout the course of the book, Morris again and again refers to Reagan in physical form, noticing his "deep-chested" strength as a youth, his elegant aging as a 30-year-old actor, and his stiff comportment as a President. At times the descriptions slide into the sensual: "That hard, splendid body, those bruising arms and knees, the prickle of wet wool..." describes the young lifeguard Reagan. Later, "that quiet, palpable mass, at once majestic and unthreatening. It's not simply an aggregate of height and breadth....he [crowds] one's horizon." While these descriptions may seem to be the result of literary license, emphasizing the body rather than the man, they have the distinct effect of creating a character who is almost a paperboard cut-out. By focusing on the two-dimensional, this effect iterates the importance of Reagan's "acting" rather than his authentic "feeling"."

Abstract
The paper discusses and analyzes Reagan?s reforms and policies, whether these reforms helped the country?s economic growth and political relations with other countries, and a general assessment of Reagan as a conservative president. In effect, this paper centers on Ronald Reagan as U.S. president and the positive and negative aspects that led to the rise and fall of the ?Golden Age?, or ?Conservative Revolution?, in the history of America.
From the Paper
"In the history of United States, Ronald Reagan, 40th president of America, became popularly known as the leader of the ?Conservative era of American governance.? This is because during his term, he introduced reforms that radically changed the political and social landscape of the country. These radical changes, however, were not at all ?radical?; instead, Reagan proposed reforms that veered towards a conservative thrust among the nation?s domestic and international affairs. Reagan?s term between the years 1981-1989 introduced the popular economic reform termed as ?Reaganomics,? and strengthened the country?s domestic and international policies. Furthermore, Reagan had also managed to create and maintain civil foreign relations with the Union Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR), despite apparent hostilities between the two countries, particularly in the part of the United States."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the fortieth President of the United States, Ronald Wilson Reagan, displayed many outstanding leadership qualities throughout his long and eventful life. He first gained national fame and personal success as a movie actor in Hollywood, before becoming involved in southern California politics. His charisma, polished speaking skills, and conservative positions on social and national defense issues won him the California governorship in 1966, which made him a major figure in the Republican Party and future contender for the White House. Historians are in general agreement that Reagan pursued the governorship of California and the presidency of the United States because of the powerful influence Nancy Reagan had on him.

President Ronald W. Reagan, 2007.
This paper argues that Ronald Reagan epitomizes the heart of leadership.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper states that Ronald W. Reagan (1912-2004) is now considered to be among the greatest U.S. presidents, which is not a bad achievement for a former "not so great" Hollywood actor who, at 69, was the oldest person to be elected president. The author stresses that Reagan possessed most of the qualities common in all great leaders, such as courage, confidence, vision, character, passion and great communication skills. The paper relates that these leadership qualities enabled Regan not only to lift the country out of economic depression and a serious crisis of confidence but also won the Cold War against the Soviets without firing a single shot.
From the Paper
"Like other successful leaders, Reagan was a visionary. He had an unflinching belief in the superiority of democracy and capitalism over the totalitarian philosophy of Communism. Very early on in his Presidency, therefore, he had boldly predicted that "the march of freedom and democracy ... will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history." Coupled with his grand, long-term vision of the international scene to end the Cold War on a triumphant note, he also had an equally ambitious domestic vision of reducing the intrusiveness of the government and ..."

Abstract
Examines President Reagan's commitment to the SDI. His personal involvement with the Star Wars notion. His personal and political beliefs. Speeches he gave that dealt with the need for SDI. Use of the term "evil empire." Positioning of SDI as the primary strategic response of the U.S. Reagan's simple view of good and bad.
From the Paper
"Ronald Reagan's decision to announce the Strategic Defensive Initiative (SDI) on March 23, 1983 had its roots in Reagan's personality, beliefs, and management style. But the event has been shrouded in protective myths that, while they allowed for the effects of the President's personality and decision-making process, primarily served propaganda needs and the particular strategies of those who told the stories. Critical interpretations of the development of the idea and its presentation have covered a broad range of possibilities as well--from the influence of the movies on the President to the pro-Reagan claims that his concern over the abolition of all nuclear weapons was the true source of his interest in the SDI. By all accounts, however, Reagan was extraordinarily detached from the decision-making process in his own administrations, both as ..."
