    Does anyone have any book/article recommendations if I’m unfamiliar with this topic, but may want to start down this rabbit hole?

      More than emphasizing the figure of Reagan, I suggest learning about neoliberalism overall, and its emergence as the global order.

      Frankly, Reagan was just a simpleton in a suit, by my estimation.

      Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman are the more relevant figures historically.

      I’m not familiar with books on Reagan but if you want a great book on how the right wing billionaires manipulate things with money I suggest Dark Money by Jane Meyer. It’s in the same vein and dark money is a highly interesting topic.
