Etymology
Reaganomics combines the name Reagan and economics, where economics means 'the study of money and trade'. So Reaganomics is a short name for 'the economic ideas of President Reagan', meaning policies like tax cuts and smaller government, which is why we use it for the 1980s policies he promoted.
