Why intellectual honesty in economics is essential no matter the politics;
What went into the economic policy decisions inside the White House with Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Trump, and more. We discussed this and the need for pro-growth policies in a recent commentary at The Federalist.

In March 1999, he was noted by Time Magazine as one of “the Century’s Greatest Minds” for his invention of the Laffer curve, which has been called one of “a few of the advances that powered this extraordinary century.”
