Arthur Laffer drew a curve on a napkin in 1974 — and it changed economic policy around the world. The Laffer Curve, which illustrated the relationship between tax rates and tax revenue, became one of the most influential concepts in the history of supply-side economics and the intellectual foundation for the Reagan tax cuts of 1981. One of the most recognizable economists alive, Laffer served on President Reagan’s Economic Policy Advisory Board throughout the 1980s and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Trump in 2019. He speaks on tax policy, economic growth, supply-side economics, and the fiscal and regulatory conditions that drive or destroy prosperity.
