When it comes to modern economic thought, few names hold as much weight as Arthur B. Laffer. Best known as “The Father of Supply-Side Economics,” he revolutionized tax policy with the Laffer Curve, a concept that shaped President Reagan’s economic agenda and ignited a global movement for lower taxes and economic growth.
As founder and chairman of Laffer Associates, Laffer has advised presidents, policymakers, and legislators for decades, including serving on Reagan’s Economic Policy Advisory Board and helping shape legislation through the Congressional Policy Advisory Board. His influence is so profound that Time Magazine named him one of “the Century’s Greatest Minds.”
With degrees from Yale and Stanford, Laffer combines academic rigor with real-world impact, earning multiple Graham and Dodd Awards for his economic research. His work continues to guide fiscal policy, tax reform, and economic strategy, ensuring that his principles of free markets and prosperity remain as relevant today as ever.
