US economist Arthur Laffer — the man behind the famous “Laffer Curve” — joins Merryn Talks Money to explain why he thinks Western economies, especially the UK, have pushed taxes too far. As Chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares for her next budget, Laffer warns Britain is heading for stagnation, not growth. He makes the case for a radical rethink: lower taxes, less red tape, and a return to pro-growth policies inspired by Reagan, Kennedy, and Thatcher. Tune in to hear why he believes the UK could be on the brink of an economic revival — if it dares to change course.

In this special episode by Pete and Gav, your friendly neighbourhood economists, you will dive into the economics of ‘Thatcherism' and discover what made her economic world tick! Not only you will learn about MV=PT and the Laffer Curve but you'll also be able to hear two limericks about her rise and fall and have a go at the obligatory quiz.

FF: The Lottery, Tax, and Order from the State We talk about the difference between a tax deed state and a tax lien state. Tax lien states have certain percentages written into their laws, and we give some examples. We talk about the lottery, which is a small part of funding schools here and is at least voluntary, even if the odds make it unlikely for an individual to benefit. We talk about how investing in gold, silver, or Bitcoin would have gotten you a better return this year. The state of Ohio had submitted a letter telling a county that they had to raise property taxes by 42%. People have reached the end of what they can pay, so tax delinquency rates are up. Governments really need to study the Laffer Curve.

Jon Hartley and Arthur Laffer discuss his origins as an economist, including his relationships with George Shultz and Milton Friedman, the 50-year history of the Laffer Curve, the shape of the Laffer Curve, the effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on fixed investment and revenue, and much more. Recorded on August 12, 2025.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageA century of parental educational rights. Fifty years of revolutionary economic thinking. One year since a presidential debate that changed American history. Today's episode celebrates these critical anniversaries that have shaped American liberty and prosperity.Pierce v. Society of Sisters stands as a cornerstone of American educational freedom. When Oregon attempted to mandate public schooling for all children in 1922, the Supreme Court unanimously struck down this overreach, declaring "the child is not the mere creature of the state." This landmark ruling has protected parental rights and educational diversity for 100 years, establishing boundaries on government authority that continue to influence school choice debates today.The Laffer Curve—sketched on a napkin during a dinner with government officials—transformed economic thinking by illustrating a counterintuitive truth: beyond a certain point, higher tax rates actually decrease government revenue. Though initially ignored by the Ford administration, this insight eventually powered Reagan's economic revolution, launching decades of prosperity. Kennedy had recognized this paradox years earlier, noting "tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low." This principle, validated repeatedly through American history, demonstrates how economic freedom fuels both individual and collective flourishing.We also mark one year since the Biden-Trump debate that reshaped the 2024 election and triggered remarkable transformation: border policy shifts, economic rebounds, international developments, and party realignments. These anniversaries remind us how foundational ideas about liberty, properly applied, create lasting prosperity. Which of these milestones has most directly impacted your life? Explore Hillsdale College's free course on supply-side economics to deepen your understanding of these principles.Key Points from the Episode:• Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925) turns 100 years old, establishing the fundamental right of parents to choose their children's education • The Supreme Court's unanimous decision declared "the child is not the mere creature of the state," protecting private and religious schools• Art Laffer's curve sketched on a napkin approximately 50 years ago revolutionized tax policy by showing how lower tax rates can increase government revenue• The Laffer Curve became the foundation for Reagan's economic policies in the 1980s, spurring decades of prosperity• One year after the pivotal Biden-Trump debate that led to President Biden's withdrawal from the race• Reflection on the dramatic policy shifts and economic changes that have occurred in just one yearBe sure to check out Hillsdale College's free course on supply-side economics taught by Art Laffer himself for more insights into these economic principles.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

Riots are once again breaking out in California, all the way to Chicago and East coast cities. The National Guard is on the streets of LA to handle violent protests against ICE, and it seems there is evidence that these multi-day protests are anything but organic. Similar protests are planned around the country this weekend, attempting to counter a military showcase parade President Trump has planned for the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army. The media can't be trusted to cover it fairly, which leads to our next question: is the "knowledge" economy falling apart? The mainstream news media, academia, and scientific establishment are rapidly losing credibility in the eyes of the average person, and it may be well deserved.Turning our eyes abroad, Trump says he struck a deal with China on trade, we'll look at the good, the bad, and the ugly -- and the UK's Labour Party recently levied taxes that resulted very quickly in a nice demonstration of the Laffer Curve, ending in less government income rather than more.The Heartland Institute's Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, Chris Talgo, and S.T.

The idea that cutting taxes can increase government revenue is rooted in the Laffer Curve theory, which suggests that lower tax rates can stimulate economic activity, broaden the tax base, and ultimately boost revenue. Supporters argue that tax cuts encourage investment, job creation, and consumer spending. Critics, however, warn that overly aggressive cuts can lead to budget shortfalls and underfunded public services.

In this insightful and highly practical conversation, Jeannette Linfoot welcomes back Chris Wilkins, an esteemed accountant and tax expert from Wilkins Southworth. Chris delves into his fascinating journey into the world of tax, from childhood inspiration to navigating complex international finance deals. The episode explores the significant "brain drain" of high-net-worth individuals from the UK due to recent tax policy changes, discussing the economic repercussions and the critical need for up-to-date tax advice. Chris provides invaluable guidance for various financial situations: from tax-efficient strategies for startup entrepreneurs (including VAT and partnership structures) to optimizing tax for multiple business owners. He unpacks the evolving landscape of property investing in the UK, detailing the impact of Section 24 and changes affecting furnished holiday lets. A crucial segment addresses the tax implications for unmarried couples versus married couples, particularly concerning capital gains and inheritance tax, and the often-overlooked necessity of updating wills upon marriage. Finally, Chris offers vital advice for those nearing retirement, highlighting recent pension and business inheritance tax changes that could dramatically affect legacy planning. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand and optimize their financial position in a constantly shifting tax environment. Top Takeaways Accountancy is a dynamic field, not just "men in grey suits." Staying current with tax legislation is crucial for effective advice. The UK is experiencing a "brain drain" of high-net-worth individuals. Changes to domicile rules are driving an exodus of taxpayers. Losing high earners impacts social services and the average person. The Laffer Curve illustrates optimal tax rates for revenue. Startup entrepreneurs can use VAT thresholds for competitive pricing. Partnerships can optimize income tax by splitting profits. Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) offer protection and tax benefits. Tax planning must align with legal entity structure. HMRC scrutinizes property incorporation schemes. Section 24 (Tenant Tax) significantly impacts buy-to-let landlords. Furnished Holiday Lettings tax rules have become less generous. Unmarried couples face distinct capital gains and inheritance tax challenges. Marriage invalidates previous wills in the UK. Pension inheritance tax rules have changed, impacting legacy planning. Proactive tax planning is essential to avoid detrimental surprises. "To know and not to do is to not know." "People who fail to plan, plan to fail." Sound Bites "Life started from a tax point of view when my mum... went to see her accountant." "The image of accountancy is that it's like men in grey suits and... it's quite boring but it's not at all." "You gotta keep on reading about tax and learning about it." "There seems to be a bit of an exodus from the UK right now." "If the 1% the top 1% go, who's gonna pay the tax?" "You just gotta kind of block out the noise and just keep your eyes focused on whatever it is that you want." "I'm going in there to collect as much as I possibly can." "It's a very YouTube idea, I love it." "Recovery is very important in our sport." "Come as you are, leave as more." "Your struggles are not your limitations." "Bravery is speaking truth to power." "Don't just climb the ladder, create an elevator." "Embracing failure is a powerful gift." "Your will wouldn't have said I leave X to my spouse, 'cause you weren't married before. But now you are." "To know and not to do is to not know." "People who fail to plan, plan to fail."

Taxes = War Welfare & warfare lead to more taxes. When governments can't directly tax enough to pay for their wars & welfare they print currency without any backing… other than their faith & credit which is obviously bad or they would not need to counterfeit their currency. This then leads to tax revolts & dramatic changes in government. We are approaching another one of these points in history. And this time it is happening simultaneously in many different countries. Taxes have permeated everything since at least the beginning of the written word. The Rosetta Stone was a tax document. Jesus was born in Bethlehem because Mary and Joseph had to register for the census for tax purposes. Some tax incentives were powerful enough for people to change religions! What many politicians don't realize is that charging a higher tax rate does not equate to more revenue for the government. We discuss the Laffer Curve, how in ancient Greece taxes were voluntary, and how if we could pick where we spent our money, there would be less wars.

What do tariffs, the Laffer Curve, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off have in common? More than you'd think. This week, we dive into the world of trade policy, culture wars, and deflated middle-aged fatherhood, all from the basement. From Trump's so-called "Liberation Day" of tariffs to secret WhatsApp groups planning military strikes, this episode examines how America's trade war is about identity, masculinity, and a long-festering grudge against Europe. With a history lesson on Smoot-Hawley, Reaganomics, and the ghost of Arthur Laffer, we ask: if America is only barely exposed to global trade, why the war on Europe? And is this all just economic policy reimagined as culture war th Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This is the latest in my series of podcasts explaining how economics works in the credit crunch and now virus pandemic era. This week I give my thoughts on will the UK be forced to go to the IMF?

Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University says that Donald Trump wants to push through a fundamental rebalancing of the US economy, shifting wealth from the public to private sector. He is willing to go through a period of chaos to do so, using tariffs as a blunt foreign policy tool to bully and cajole. In the UK, we may be at, or over, the peak of the Laffer Curve where taxes cause a change in behaviour. 15-30% of cigarette purchases could now be illicit. Will the government reduce duty to increase revenue? And with Labour stealing some centre-right policies, will the strife in those parties intensify and how can they respond?

Historically, Western societies were defined by stark divisions between wealth and poverty, with only a slim middle class. Today, the economic landscape has transformed, largely through political and institutional changes that have enabled wealth distribution and middle-class growth. Economist Daniel Waldenström explores this evolution, highlighting that effective social and tax policies are essential to advancing shared prosperity without undermining entrepreneurship. Using rigorous research, Waldenström's work demonstrates how wealth accumulation patterns have shifted since the 1800s, emphasizing the significant role of increased access to education, property ownership, and pensions. His insights advocate for policies that promote wealth creation across all social tiers, ensuring sustainable growth and financial security for future generations. Shermer and Waldenström cover the scientific basis of economics, how personal beliefs shape economic theories, and differences between income and wealth inequality. They delve into historical wealth disparities, factors that have driven middle-class growth, and policies like the Laffer Curve and labor taxation. Waldenström also offers practical advice on fiscal policy and strategies to help poorer nations achieve wealth and stability.
FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageExplore the transformative power of tax policy and its undeniable impact on economic growth. Many politicians, past and present, have misguidedly underestimated this crucial aspect of governance. As we reflect on historical examples, the successes of JFK and Reagan highlight how lower tax rates can indeed fuel economic expansion. Dive into the complexities of the Laffer Curve and discover why tax cuts are more than just policy— they're a pathway to prosperity. For those eager to learn more, we recommend diving into the insightful works of Larry Kudlow and Art Laffer.Our book of the day is from the authors, Art Laffer and Stephen Moore, in "The Trump Economic Miracle." They were economic advisors to Donald Trump and we can learn about Trump's knack for making people feel valued and his ambition to emulate Reagan's economic success. Key Points from the Episode:Through a critical lens, we analyze how Trump's economic policies compare to Biden's, particularly in areas like real take-home pay and inflation. With the election on the horizon, we explore why Trump's economic message resonates with a broad spectrum of voters, while Bidenomics faces increasing skepticism.In a deep dive into energy policies and business climates, we compare the economic landscapes under both administrations. From the controversy of the Keystone XL pipeline cancellation to the pressures faced by small businesses, we weigh the impacts of Biden's climate-centric agenda against Trump's deregulation efforts. We wrap up with a hopeful outlook, emphasizing the potential for economic recovery through strategic tax cuts and regulation reductions.We also talk about the role of tax policy in fueling economic growth, guided by Art Laffer's insights in "Taxes Have Consequences." Then we highlight 10 reasons by Trumps economic policies will outperform, out stimulate and outgrow Biden-Harris economic proposals plus we give two bonus reasons to further entrench how much better Trump's economic plan is above Harris's plan.

Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-host and economist Natasha Srdoc with Dr. Arthur Laffer, also known as “The Father of Supply Side Economics.” Dr. Laffer's career has been marked by experience and success in business, in public policy, and as an academic economist and professor. During the 1970s, Dr. Laffer was a consultant to Secretaries of the Treasury George Shultz and William Simon and Chief of Staff and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. He was the first to hold the title of Chief Economist at the Office of Management and Budget under Secretary of the Treasury George Shultz in the early 1970s. Dr. Laffer was a member of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board for both of his two terms (1981-1989). He also advised Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on fiscal policy in the U.K. during the 1980s. Dr. Laffer's economic acumen and influence in triggering a world-wide tax-cutting movement in the 1980s have earned him the distinction in many publications as “The Father of Supply-Side Economics.” His Laffer Curve is one of the main theoretical constructs of supply-side economics. Dr. Laffer was an economic advisor to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. In 2019, President Trump awarded DR.

Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-host and economist Natasha Srdoc with Dr. Arthur Laffer, also known as “The Father of Supply Side Economics” in a discussion about Ronald Reagan's economic and tax policy, US economic growth of 12% during Reagan, flat tax revolution in Eastern Europe, a proper interpretation of the US debt, deficits and government spending, balancing of the budget and transfer theorem. Dr. Laffer's career has been marked by experience and success in business, in public policy, and as an academic economist and professor. During the 1970s, Dr. Laffer was a consultant to Secretaries of the Treasury George Shultz and William Simon and Chief of Staff and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. He was the first to hold the title of Chief Economist at the Office of Management and Budget under Secretary of the Treasury George Shultz in the early 1970s. Dr. Laffer was a member of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board for both of his two terms (1981-1989). He also advised Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on fiscal policy in the U.K. during the 1980s. Dr. Laffer's economic acumen and influence in triggering a world-wide tax-cutting movement in the 1980s have earned him the distinction in many publications as “The Father of Supply-Side Economics.” His Laffer Curve is one of the main theoretical constructs of supply-side economics. Dr. Laffer was an economic advisor to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. In 2019, President Trump awarded DR. Laffer with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his contributions in the field of economics.

According to Dr. Arthur Laffer, since 1913, when the United States first imposed the income tax via constitutional amendment, the top rate of that tax has determined the fate of the American economy. When the top rate has been high, as in the late 1910s, the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1970s, the response of those with money and capital has been to curtail real economic activity in favor of protecting assets and income streams. Huge declines have come to the economy in these circumstances. On today's podcast, ARK CEO, CIO and Founder Cathie Wood is again joined by Dr. Arthur Laffer, a famed economist, well-known for his creation of “The Laffer Curve,” so Dr. Laffer and Cathie can discuss Laffer's book, Taxes Have Consequences, in which Dr. Laffer provides a history of taxes and their impact on the United States economy. Dr. Laffer explains why he believes that a low rate broad-based flat tax, spending restraint, sound money, minimal regulations, and free trade are the answers to most of our economic problems. “Low rate broad-based flat tax, spending restraint, sound money, minimal regulations, and free trade, and then get the hell out of the way and let markets solve it.” — Arthur Laffer Key Points From This Episode: An overview of Arthur Laffer's new book, Taxes Have Consequences.

Here at CapX we love an unfashionable cause – and in a cost of living crisis, few demographics are less popular than those who seem to be struggling less.But we're also fans of basic economic concepts, and with the tax burden the highest it's been since the era of state socialism under Attlee, the Laffer Curve inevitably comes to mind. Because while calls to ‘tax the rich' may be popular, if it means less money for public services, they will ultimately prove counterproductive.And it's not just about Treasury revenues. The only way we'll get out of the hole we're in is by growing the economy and that means enabling businesses to thrive, to generate profits and – in the end – to make some people wealthy.To discuss whether the Government and society at large are doing enough to incentivise wealth creation, we were delighted to welcome broadcaster and commentator Emily Carver, Martin Vander Weyer, Business Editor at The Spectator, Merryn Somerset Webb, Senior Columnist at Bloomberg and entrepreneur Luke Johnson –founder and partner at Risk Capital Partners and chairman of Gail's bakeries among other businesses.This fascinating conversation ranged from the deep cultural roots of Britain's distaste for the dirty business of making money, the moral obligations of the wealthy, to working out who really counts as 'rich'.
