Hello, Hollywood. What "Great Communicator" has an economic theory named after him?

The Republican Party continues to hold their golden child, Ronald Reagan, in high esteem. The Hollywood actor-turned-president, lauded for his folksy likeability and charm, was called "the Great Communicator" for a reason. The orator believed less was more when it comes to government, saying, "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.” His anti-communist views produced policies that are credited with destabilizing Soviet communism and his trickle-down economic policies, known as Reaganomics, helped end the 1980 recession.
