Those policies were a failure and lead to stagnation in the 70's.
The free trade policies of the 1980s did NOT include "free trade" with countries that were trying to destroy us. Reagan embargoed the sale of virtually all high technology to Russia, China and the Warsaw Pact countries.
If we were to follow his lead today we would still have embargoes in place with China and most of the Middle East.

This needs repeating.
