AP Correction. "06-09) 11:09 PDT NEW YORK (AP) -- In a June 7 story on the impact of Ronald Reagan's presidency on U.S. business, The Associated Press erroneously reported that he had little schooling in economics. Reagan earned a bachelor's degree in social science and economics from Eureka College in 1932."

The link is here.

You could also justly say that Reagan was a "continuing education" student in economics -- he continued his economic training reading the writings of Hayek, Friedman and other economists -- and Reagan even had personal "seminar" sessions with Friedman and other leading economists through the mid and late 1970s, sessions organized by Martin Anderson.

The original erroneous AP story is here. Quotable: "He had almost no schooling in economics but confidently marshaled sweeping reforms, motivated partly by a decades-old grudge over the whopping tax bills he incurred as a World War II-era film star." Posted by Greg Ransom | TrackBack
