Does anyone have any book/article recommendations if I'm unfamiliar with this topic, but may want to start down this rabbit hole?

More than emphasizing the figure of Reagan, I suggest learning about neoliberalism overall, and its emergence as the global order.

Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman are the more relevant figures historically.
