JFK and the Reagan Revolution

An account of the fascinating, suppressed history of how JFK pioneered supply-side economics, it contains a revealing look at one of the most important yet least understood episodes in American economic history. It involves the revelation of how JFK assembled Keynesian advisors, only to reject their plans for loose money and big spending, while he embraced non-Keynesian ideas to opt for tax cuts and recommit to the gold standard. The authors make a convincing case that the solutions needed to solve the long economic stagnation are once again the free-market principles of limited government, low tax rates, and a strong dollar.
