This video provides a balanced and accessible examination of the economic policies of the 1980s under President Ronald Reagan, often referred to as "Reaganomics" or "Trickle-Down Economics." It explores the transition from the economic stagnation of the 1970s to the consumer boom of the 80s, breaking down complex concepts like deregulation, tax cuts, and international trade. Through fictional case studies of businesses and workers, the narrative illustrates how these policies aimed to stimulate growth by reducing burdens on corporations and wealthy individuals, with the theory that prosperity would "trickle down" to the average American.
