== Reagan's most quoted author - can anyone verify the cite? ==

I've been trying to track this claim down - it's universal in recent coverage of Gilder - and Larissa MacFarquhar's "The Gilder Effect" from 2000 appears to be the ''only'' source for this claim. All other cites for it that I could find are to this one article.

The reference is a dead link - but there appears to be a copy , in ''The New Yorker'', 29 May 2000 ... paywalled. The only text on the page relating to this is "It is no accident that Gilder—scourge of feminists, unrepentant supply-sider, and now, at sixty, a technology prophet—was the living author Reagan most often quoted." Is it substantiated any further in the article body? Can anyone get the article text and quote the part that makes this claim?

If that one passing sentence is literally the entire basis for this claim, then it may not be a solid claim - and definitely not one rating the article intro - ] (]) 19:34, 11 December 2018 (UTC)

Reagan's most quoted author - can anyone verify the cite?

I've been trying to track this claim down - it's universal in recent coverage of Gilder - and Larissa MacFarquhar's "The Gilder Effect" from 2000 appears to be the only source for this claim. All other cites for it that I could find are to this one article.

The reference is a dead link - but there appears to be a copy here, in The New Yorker, 29 May 2000 ... paywalled. The only text on the page relating to this is "It is no accident that Gilder—scourge of feminists, unrepentant supply-sider, and now, at sixty, a technology prophet—was the living author Reagan most often quoted." Is it substantiated any further in the article body? Can anyone get the article text and quote the part that makes this claim?

If that one passing sentence is literally the entire basis for this claim, then it may not be a solid claim - and definitely not one rating the article intro - David Gerard (talk) 19:34, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
