It's hard to grasp the larger picture of the times when you are living in the midst of them. The Reagan revolution helped commercialize the fruits of the Cold War but gave the spoils to the already rich, setting off the age of inequality that culminated in the "Lost Decade" of regulatory incompetence, financial squandering, misguided adventurism, and the willful neglect of the needed transformation to a post-petroleum age. We can only hope that current president will right America's path and make the necessary preparations for a change to energy independence and a new age of economic fruitfulness.
