I’m thrilled to be joined once again by Dr. Arthur Laffer. Dr. Laffer is a world-renowned economist and creator of the Laffer Curve, which has reshaped fiscal policy worldwide. He has advised Secretaries of the Treasury, served on President Reagan’s Economic Policy Advisory Board, and been recognized by Time Magazine and the Los Angeles Times.

Dr. Laffer shares why he’s optimistic about the U.S. economy under new leadership, how tariffs can drive global trade negotiations, and what it will take to rebuild trust in government institutions. Arthur also weighs in on some flaws with the Federal Reserve’s monetary policies, the significance of participation rates, and why he’s advocating for a return to foundational economic principles.

From his insights on inflation and Fed policy to his vision for tax reform and government efficiency, this conversation is packed with wisdom from one of the most influential economic thinkers of our time.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: 

  • The seven positions of political power in the U.S. and their implications
  • Why Dr. Laffer believes the Fed’s monetary policy is fundamentally flawed
  • The difference between Paul Volcker’s and Jerome Powell’s approach to combat inflation
  • How tariffs can be a great negotiating tool for free trade
  • Why Dr. Laffer has vowed to never work in government again.
