About This Event

Former President Ronald Reagan  
Former President Ronald Reagan
 
When President Ronald Reagan took office in January 1981, the U.S. economy was in shambles, its armed forces demoralized, and democratic capitalism in retreat worldwide. Ronald Reagan supported freedom movements throughout the World; rebuilt American armed forces; and cut taxes and deregulated the economy. His economic revolution put the United States back on the road to prosperity; his international leadership paved the way for the victory over the Evil Empire and the Autumn of the Peoples in 1989. "The Great Communicator" succeeded in spite of opposition from the media and the chattering classes-he appealed directly to the American people and friends of liberty everywhere. What made Reagan’s presidency so exceptional? Can his methods be applied in Central Europe? Please join the New Atlantic Initiative and the Adam Smith Research Centre for this conference in Warsaw, Poland, on Ronald Reagan’s legacy in Europe.
