A decade—and a president—that transformed America. During the
Reagan years, Americans witnessed an extraordinary array of
changes, from major technological advances to sweeping revisions of
the tax code to the deregulation of major industries and the advent
of the culture wars. America emerged from the decade completely
transformed: political and social arrangements derived from
post–World War II liberalism had given way to the highly
competitive, fast-changing, technology-driven society we know
today. In The Eighties, John Ehrman tracks this transformation in
the context of Ronald Reagan’s policies and convictions and
examines the broader trends that enabled Reagan to achieve so much
of his agenda. At a time when most Americans remained fairly
centrist in their political commitments, Reagan was able to shift
policy toward the right by building support for a few key policies.
His gradualist approach met with little opposition from Democrats,
who failed to mount a coherent response. Based on a broad range of
primary source material, The Eighties offers an accessible and
balanced account of a watershed decade in American history.
