"The Speech," as it has come to be known, helped launch Ronald Reagan as a leading force in the American conservative movement. However, less than twenty years earlier, Reagan was a prominent Hollywood liberal, the president of the Screen Actors Guild, and a fervent supporter of FDR and Harry Truman. While many agree that Reagan's anticommunism grew out of his experiences with the Hollywood communists of the late 1940's, the origins of his conservative ideology have remained obscure. Based on a newly discovered collection of private papers as well as interviews and corporate documents, The Education of Ronald Reagan offers new insights into Reagan's ideological development and his political ascendancy. Thomas W. Evans links the eight years (1954-1962) in which Reagan worked for General Electric-acting as host of its television program, GE Theater, and traveling the country as the company's public-relations envoy-to his conversion to conservatism. In particular, Evans reveals the profound influence of GE executive Lemuel Boulware, who would become Reagan's political and ideological mentor. Boulware, known for his tough stance against union officials and his innovative corporate strategies to win over workers, championed the core tenets of modern American conservatism-free-market fundamentalism, anticommunism, lower taxes, and limited government. Building on the ideas and influence of Boulware, Reagan would soon begin his rise as a national political figure and an icon of the American conservative movement.Columbia studies in contemporary American history.ConservatismUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPresidentsUnited StatesBiographyUnited StatesPolitics and government1953-1961United StatesPolitics and government1961-1963ConservatismHistoryPresidents973.927092BEvans Thomas W.1930-1481460MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777700203321The education of Ronald Reagan3698419UNINA01994nam0 22003491i 450 UON0024968620231205103624.87920040213d1983 |0itac50 bafreARAEG|||| 1||||Stèles funéraires musulmanes des iles Dahlak (Mer Rouge)Madeleine SchneiderCaire : Institut Française d'Archeologie Orientale19832 v., p. di tav. ; 28 cmEsemplare in fotocopia rilegato in 1 v.fotocopiaUON00046749Esemplare in fotocopiaIT-UONSI ARAXXA/021 (2)001UON000467492001 Textes arabes et études islamiques19 1-2 fotocopiaEPIGRAFIA ISLAMICAUONC016150FINECROPOLI ISLAMICHEMar RossoUONC033065FIEGIl CairoUONL000377ARA XX APAESI ARABI - EPIGRAFIA, NUMISMATICA, SIGILLOGRAFIA - EPIGRAFIAASCHNEIDERMadeleineUONV020906650382Institut français d'archéologie orientaleUONV245957650ITSOL20251205RICAUON00249686SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO E ARCHIVIO STORICOSI ARA XX A 021 (1) SI SA 116020 7 021 (1) SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO E ARCHIVIO STORICOSI ARA XX A 021 (2) SI SA 109645 7 021 (2) Esemplare in fotocopiaSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO E ARCHIVIO STORICOSI SCERRATO 116 (1) SI 14988 7 116 (1) SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO E ARCHIVIO STORICOSI SCERRATO 116 (2) SI 14989 7 116 (2) Stèles funéraires musulmanes des iles Dahlak (Mer Rouge1235368UNIOR
