In Reagan's memoirs, he constantly reminds the reader that he arrived at his political and economic beliefs through personal experience - not through "book learning," political apprenticeship, or the advisement of policy makers - and that he is proud of it. Furthermore, his success as California Governor convinced him that he had both the policies and personal ability to govern the nation. He brought a tough but optimistic vision to the American public - a vision he clearly believes is as valid today as it was in 1980.
