Ronald Reagan had a bachelor’s in Economics. From him we got the Boom that is coming only now to a close. Calvin Coolidge understood the subject. John Kennedy listened to men who understood these things. The Great Interventionists have been Hoover, FDR, LBJ, Carter, and now Bush. Only LBJ did not bring us economic disaster. He brought us social disintegration instead.

Actually the problem with Leaders and Economics is that it is a tremendously boring subject to dynamic persons and successful politicians are necessarily dynamic persons. They do not have the time or inclination for such stodgy subjects. That is too bad but always true with the exception of Reagan. Society’s ration of Reagans is probably severely limited. one or two a millenium.
