Other times similar to this contained more problems. The Gilded Age was corrupted, and ecumbered by capitalism. An exciting time, no doubt: free trade flourished.

Purer, more innocent, far from perfect but

2. President Reagan equals improvement. The economy improved, the Cold War warmed up, the public warmed up to him, Reagan himself improved and became more conservative.
