What "failed Reagan-era economic policies" are you referring to?
Just curious, but do you read economics journals or blogs?
isomorphismes
I would argue that the Bush administration tried to implement Reagan-era policies and what we saw was that these policies failed the middle class. Stock investors profited, but middle class wages remained stagnant or in decline. There is no such thing as trickle down economics anymore (at least that which benefits main street Americans). Globalization has destroyed the national benefits of tax cuts for the rich.
I read economic books, economic journal articles (but no specific journals) and blogs. I also follow economists (right and left) on Twitter and Facebook to get my information.
