The legacy of Reaganomics
October 29, 1991
In the article "A Participant Looks at the Pros and Cons of Reaganomics," Oct. 8, the author seems to minimize or omit some very important cons. In particular, he makes no reference to the large-scale shifting of wealth from the poorer people (and from future generations) to the wealthier people, nor the disheartening upsurge of greed among the wealthy. Where he thinks the Reaganomics legacy is fascinating, I find it appalling and revolting.Edward J. Porto, Evanston, Ill. Letters are welcome.
