Reagan

Excerto da entrevista na Reason Magazine.

REASON: Are there any particular books or authors or economists that have been influential in terms of your intellectual development?

REAGAN: Oh, it would be hard for me to pinpoint anything in that category. I?m an inveterate reader. Bastiat and von Mises, and Hayek and Hazlitt?I?m one for the classical economists....

REASON: What about Rand or Rothbard?

REAGAN: No. I haven?t read Ayn Rand since The Fountainhead. I haven?t read Atlas Shrugged. The last few years, I must say, have been a little rough on me for doing that kind of reading?for eight years I found that when I finished reading the memorandums and reports and so forth, then I found myself digging into nonfiction, economists and so forth, for help on the problems that were confronting me.

Agradecimentos ao André Alves.
