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.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
