materials

• primary source c: text/excerpts and summaries of the economic recovery tax act of 1981 (erta) — jct/history/archives summary. jct + 1
• primary source d (short): reagan administration domestic policy highlights (reagan foundation timeline) — or reagan press releases on domestic policy. reagan library
• secondary sources for analysis: history.com summary of erta and investopedia contextual overview, plus a scholarly/analytical short piece (e.g., cbo summary or jct pamphlet); history + 2investopedia + 2

exit ticket: try to apply the information you just read about reagan’s taxes and domestic policy to your life. what is one thing you read that you’d like to see more of in your life and one thing that you think was not a great idea.

Explanation:

The problem involves analyzing conservative ideas in domestic policies (tax cuts, spending, social issues) and their impacts, using historical sources (ERTA, Reagan administration policies) and secondary analyses. The subfield of History (under Social Science) is most applicable as it deals with studying past events, policies, and their impacts, along with using historical sources (primary and secondary) for analysis.

Answer:

The subfield that best applies is History (under Social Science).
