What chapters in The Role of a Lifetime (Lou Cannon) focus on the economy?

I am doing a research paper about Ronald Reagan. I want to determine how "republican" he was, because today so many people view him as this perfect republican god. I am going to be focusing on his economic actions. I know The role of a Lifetime is a great resource, but it's so overwhelming. I don't know how to look through it for specific information on the economy.|||By the end of his second term, Reagan was reported as being asleep at a lot of his cabinet meetings, so maybe you should be writing more about George Bush Sr. ? Reagan historically is more revered for establishing the end of the Cold War. In either case, neither the Reagan nor the VP who had backed him had much positive effect on the American economy.

In fact, Bill Clinton won his first term as President by running against Bush Sr. on the slogan,

"It's the economy, Stupid!"

This slogan echoed truthfully to the fact that Bush Sr. had a no better economic plan than the trickle-down economics of his predesessor.
