Reagans story at GE is, to a startling degree, the story of labor relations executive Lemuel Boulware. When Boulware hired Ronald Reagan he was a conventional, patriotic, anti-communist liberal Democrat. He was not thought to be particularly well-informed or articulate. Under Boulwares guidance, Reagan sparred with GEs unionized employees and received what he termed his post-graduate education in political science from 1954 to 1962. He became thoroughly familiar with basic economics, and came to share Boulwares strong conviction that business performs an essential public service. He also thought about a wide range of other public policy matters stretching even to the core concept of what was to become the Strategic Defense Initiative.

Lemuel Bulware helped create the standard model for making things sound "right" and why so few among the exploited realize they are being screwed royal.
