"The 20-year consensus about Reagan’s achievements is slowly beginning to unravel, as it’s become increasingly clear that his policies and politics had a more damaging economic, social, and political impact than has been acknowledged.

Matthew Dallek in The American Scholar reassesses Ronald Reagan's legacy.
