I really think regardless of your political affiliation that Art Laffer has a POV that is valid and should be debated.

This talk deserves multiple thumb ups

Definitely do a series with this professor!

One of the most important interviews of this year. Actually of this decade!

Hardly boring… clear, organized analysis is downright exciting. Art gives me hope

Excellent guest and interview...thanks so much.

This was such an AWESOME interview. One of the best I've listened to in a long time. I learned so much! Thank you!!

What an amazing interview. I love how you let your guests speak without interrupting.

AMAZING interview. Plz have him on again. Love this. We felt like we were in history class. This is a REWATCH

Wow! This guy is amazing. Love he has the guts to call people out. He’s so genuinely honest, with no filters, that’s awesome. Wish every interviewee is as forthcoming, open and unfiltered as Art Laffer. Looking forward to your future interviews with him, as he is so eagerly offering and willing to do. And would love to view the debates he wants to have with his peers. Hopefully you’ll be able to pull those off. So glad to hear you’re going to have on Cathie Wood, as I follow her closely. Can you please have as a guest Ric Edelman? As he’s extremely knowledgeable with securing retirement, growing wealth, reducing debt, and all other matters regarding money. Thanks for the great job Julia.

Great interview with a real economic guru

What an impressive man. We need more like him! 👍

Excellent guest !

Very good topic and interview

Yes do the other podcasts. I have listened to him for years but this his best. Thank you for letting him talk uninterrupted. It was very informative.

Julia Fabulous Interview!! Art another favorite of mine!! I really enjoy Arts economic fundamental critique and analysis. Arts 5 pillars of prosperity realistic point. Then he has the other 5 points to move to solving the problem. Your follow up question how did we get here brings perspective. Refreshing interview. A good question or topic would be- what does the American plan look like to pay down the 34 trillion? What does the constitutional budget look like line by line? I would think we need a 10-20 30 year plan. Art would be for sure one of say 3 people to lay out the plan. Art says he would like to debate. Unfortunately spenders are hard to talk with. Especially Arts Transfer discussion and facts. It would be nice but there needs to be a constitutional solution workshop that would also have to include the Dollar back to the gold std ,the Fed etc. And not to get long winded but real production of products and industry in the USA. Todays interview really strikes me and gets my organizational mind mapping out the constitutional solution to move back to basics of the USA. Thanks again for the interviews and your channel. Refreshing!!

Julia please setup the additional interviews with Dr. Laffer. Thanks

I vote we have him back.

What a great (extended!) interview, Ms. LaRoche. Dr. Laffer is from an innocent and unified America that in many ways, doesn't exist anymore, sadly. But his economic ideas are eternal, and work everywhere, always if allowed to do so! Thanks for the content.

This was an amazing episode. Art Laffer is a very educational and entertaining guest 😂

Art Laffer forgets ... 1) S&L scandal bailout 2) LTCM Hedge Fund bailout 3) TARP bailout 4) BTFP bailout No. Let's talk student loan bailouts. 😂😂😂

Sadly the USA was transformed during WW2 to a permanent Industrial-Militaty- Congressional Complex which requires permanent conflict to support its existence. Col. Fletcher Prouty stated in 1945 1/2 of the arms on Okinawa went to Korea and the other 1/2 to Vietnam, Coincidence? I think not.

Great guest

This was absolutely fantastic. Such a great guest and I took so much away from the conversation. Thank you!🙏🏼

Big bravo for another interesting guest, Julia! As well as for the class of true applied economics!

Dr. Laffer for president!

One of the most excellent guests you had ever on.

So wonderful to hear someone with some common sense and some great policy’s that would strengthen America with solid solutions.thanks Julia

One of the sessions I’ve seen in quite awhile! Thank you!

Wow! Of the best podcasts on the economy I have ever heard. Well done!

🎉🎉🎉 Thank you Mr. Laffer ! Amazing content!!! We want moreeeèe

One of the most approachable/understandable economists since Milton Friedman.

I've just started listening to your guest over the past couple of months. I really benefit from his point of view

Great job Julia!

What a bright and wonderful man. Great interview.

Strong work Julia!! Love your podcast

On another of his podcasts he mentioned he would love to do an interview on property tax. One of the few people I love to listen to on the economy.

I don't agree with all the statements made by Dr. Laffer but I do follow his arguments. And he makes some strong arguments!

Fantastic comments about the other economists and redistributionists!! Art is 100% correct. I hope he is advising the next administration to correct the current malaise.

Excellent interview! Thank you.

Thanks for sharing. Matthew 25:14-30 Parable of the talents confirms the saying “Heaven helps for those who help themselves”.

🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Great Guest & Interview!!! 🌟

Great interview !

There is a value for free trade, and it is important that it be recognized for clear analysis of the goods and services traded internationally.

Been a fan of Dr. Laffer for decades! One of my earliest influencers to embrace the Austrian school.

One of the best guests I’ve heard on here. Hopefully he will do the extra shows you spoke of. Good job out of you !!!

Love it, please have him back

One reason distribution doesnt necesarily lead to less income is people need a certain amount of resources and security to work at their highest efficiency. They need to be healthy, for example. Keeping your population sick and weak doesnt give you higher productivity because you think they are incentivized. On top of being physically unable they are demoralized. Parents that cant afford day care arent going to be optimal workers if one has to stay with the children. We redistribute wealth because it actually benefits society to make sure these services are distributed. Education is another obvious example

I really liked him I didn't think I would but he is right on

The Econ 101 masterclass ❤😊

So clear and precise thank Julia spot on stuff!

Look forward to the next video. I would love to be able to submit questions to the points or premises I don't either understand completely, or disagree with; as a teacher I'm sure he would be happy to teach. Maybe a link provided to answer when he has time, or if even reasonable to answer. (hopefully there would be enough serious questions of those truly wanting to educate themselves) I've admired his work since he was in the Reagan Admin.

I found it really funny when he said that former President Clinton was a creepy person, but very good on economics. I actually liked Clinton's personality, his intelligence, and his ability to connect with the average American and speak extemporaneously.

Best video yet. More of Laffer and have him debate Paul Krugman.

Absolutely loved this. Watched to the end as I’m sure I would if there were more!

Julia, you are so kind and unbiased with all your hosts. Don’t change ever. If you ever want to eat good Indian food then please come home. My family would love to have you. People just don’t do something like this anymore. Invite home for food is the most heartwarming experience for many.

I have lots of respect for Dr. Laffer. I got a kick out of Charles Payne congratulating/ribbing him earlier this week on being on a short list of Fed chairs should Trump get elected. Thank you both for the interview!

A great man! That just about sums it up...

Julie, you discussed with Dr. Laffer a future show with him and a liberal economist. I would love to see that discussion cover the fallacies of MMT.

This guy is the best.

Fantastic podcast!

Love your channel Julia.

I love art Laffer

He is very sharp for 83 years old.

Dr. Laffer is a great economist and I believe in the Flat Tax plus.....in my Luxuries Tax because Luxuries is a status which can be well covered by Insurance. The only inequities, to be disputed of course is what is Luxuries and what is not. For instance, if a car's price is XYZ and somebody pays X2 has every right to buy. So, Government taxes on Insurance companies should rise also. No Free Lunch to Insurance providers in general. 🎉 Thanks.

Art's monetary knowledge should be mandated in AI programming! What a brilliant mind!

my humble obesiances at this mans noble feet ....enlightening to say the least

He's maintained the look after all these years....and his theory being wrong just as long

Thanks

Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is following this informative content cheers Frank 😊

In the 1950s taxes were very high, and that was a decade of tremendous growth.

Love this interview. As they tax me more; I try less but pretend more 😊. As they raise tax; I charge my customers more, simple as that. 😊

Usually if I like it I give it a thumbs up, very seldom do I subscribe simply because of the content. The content's good but not good enough, and most of the time it gets boring. I don't have to agree with everything, I'm after information that I can decide whether it's right or wrong. After listening to this podcast it was a no-brainer to subscribe. Thanks Dan

Hallelujah 🙌- absolutely 💯!!!

This is the guy that watched and oversaw Reagan spend a ton of money while cutting taxes. What a clown.

GOAT

Insider information is already priced into the market ! 😮

How about stabilizing the dollar?

Dr. Laffer then what to do?!!!

I like this guy.

At first i thought "ah great, another career academic." But then i found most of this guy's stance to be quite accurate and would love to see him on again! The parts i dont agree with, are not ones i necessarily disagree with, but rather wpyld like to see him dig into more. This relates to taxes in a few ways: 1) what about privatizing or creating more co-op based revenue systems, rather than making everything political. You pay for what you want to use, maybe with some excess for what you don't (even if just not at that stage in life), and make it competitive to get those things in place. 2) remove tax rates that can change or increase in total amount from purchased assets (i.e. you shouldn't pay more for infrastructure for government and nearby infrastructure because of a paper gain on real estate due to someone else nearby paying more for their property than you did -- the newcomer should always have to pay for the increased cost). 3) hold federal government accountable by pricing everything in states in some relatively stable money or basket of goods, so that it is clear to all who are blind or uninformed as to what is going on. States can aim for price transparency without actually creating a new money, but instead just making it easier to view the dabasement of dollars. Those states who implement such a system will effectively outcompete states that do not, becuase the states that do not will be disproportionately taken advantage of to the point of irrelevance, making the winning states hold more austority over decision making at the federal level to scale of the system of accountability and reinstate a means of a balanced budget.

Politicians deny human nature and the critical effect of morale.

“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.” We're in the phase now of our weak men/women creating hard times.

Much said is true and idealistic but for 7 years running Finland and its neighbors earn the happiest countries ranking while the USA drops out of the top 20. The ultra rich do not pay taxes as they have Trusts, Foundations and Off shore accounts. The USA is a corporatocracy with Blackstone and a few others owning most of the wealth. With robotics and AI there is less need for large populations. The waste engineered by built in obsolescence is astronomical. The G7 Globalists want their Corporatocracy to be even more global and controlling while they continue their illegal schemes , see Ronald Bernard.

Free trade is great - when both sides of the trade have the same freedom. But if the EU or China slap tariffs on us - which they do - one cannot foolishly remove your own. Adam Smith - the Father Of Free Trade in his book “Wealth Of Nations” has 2 instances when Free Trade does NOT apply: 1) National Security “stuff” 2) when Nations dump their goods on another country, and take no goods back. (In his day it was ships unloading, and returning with only “ballast”. England was doing that) Free Trade for it to “work” must be reciprocal.

I wish Mister Gaffer was a larger voice within the macro economics sphere

Art….this just isn’t ever happening…..low rate broad based tax? Lower taxes for Buffet…..higher taxes for the poor? Cmon Art…..let get a serious plan.

John Cochrane at Stanford's Hoover school as a future guest! Steve Bannon would be a great guest, too. He's a walking-encyclopedia. John Taylor at Stanford, who is known for his monetary policy rule called the Taylor Rule. Professor Laffer is on point that getting an academic tenure is political.

Sharp mind. I hope i stay as sharp at his age.

By outperform he means cutting taxes started off a new speculative inflationary bubble that ends poorly

And yet , U.S. markets are at an all time high... Dr Laffer views are perhaps out of step with reality . The sky is falling really?

What should we DO?!!!!

While you listen to this remember that Trump endorsed his book. Not a bad thing, just to keep things in perspective in case you haven’t read his book yet. Enjoy!

i think collagen peptides in your coffee is essential for my life expectancy 111 project ;)

The reason why money's outside of the Petro-dollar are being experimented with is because it is thought the diminishing return for the protection of commerce is being reached. I believe this is misguided. The costs of this protection keeps going up.

Laffer shifte debate !!!!

Henry Kissinger placed a value in international trade and made the Petro Dollar. I have never heard an economist use this value. That is the value of exercising commerce around the world freely without piracy or interference by force. There is a large value here that the United States has given the world that is not included in economic models. Without this being included, I find most models incorrect.

How about the wealth gab increasing exponentially ?

When you charge for your let's say work Watch 1) your customer if he Smiled your price is to low 2) your customer if he is crying 😢 your price is to High 3) your customer just dropped one teer😢😢😢 your price is 100 % I am 81 and been there dun that Lee
