Reaganomics (a
portmanteau of "Reagan" and "economics," coined by radio broadcaster
Paul Harvey) is a term that has been used to both describe and decry free market advocacy
economic policies of
U.S. President Ronald Reagan, who served from 1981 to 1989 and economic policies perceived as similar. The four pillars of Reagan's economic policy were to 1) reduce the growth of government spending, 2) reduce marginal tax rates on income from labor and capital, 3) reduce regulation, and (4) control the money supply to reduce inflation (sound money policy). In attempting to cut back on domestic spending while lowering taxes, Reagan's approach was a departure from his immediate predecessors.
