Global Axess 2024 – William Inboden: Economic Liberty in Ronald Reagan’s Grand Strategy
How did President Reagan make economic openness central to his overall grand strategy in the battle of ideas against Soviet communism? His strategy had several prongs, which included resisting the tides of protectionism in the US and the wider West, promoting an open global trading order, encouraging private sector innovation, contrasting the prosperity of the free world with the penury of the Soviet bloc, and urging the Kremlin leadership to embrace market reforms. How do Reagan’s measures to promote trade within the non-communist world, his efforts to persuade communist nations such as the Soviet Union and China to adopt market reforms, his support for more market-aligned reforms to international development assistance, and his conceptual connection of free enterprise connect with the other pillars of a free society, such as political and religious liberty? Through such measures, the Reagan administration and its G7 allies laid the foundations for the post-Cold War international economic order and the expansion of global prosperity.
