Abstract
Abstract The Reagan administration adopted policies and practices that managed, controlled, reduced, and, in some instances, restricted the flow government publications and information to the public. This overview identifies the relevant policy instruments used by the Administration in this regard, and indicates that Congress also reduced public access to government publications and information. In addition, the article assesses the legacy of the Reagan administration and concludes that negative features outweight the positive contributions. That legacy rejects the concept of government information as a public good and replaces it with another concept—government information as an economic good. The Administration equated the economic good with cost reduction and viewed benefit as a subset of cost.
