- Summary:
- Assesses the highs and lows of the nearly 30-year struggle to limit government, including Reagan's successes and failures, the drift away from Reagan's legacy, and George W. Bush's rejection of limited government. The author shows that the elections of 2006 and 2008 were a repudiation of the failed Bush presidency, not limited government, and cautions both parties to ignore this idea at their peril.
