Abstract: Abstract In 1974, armed with a graph drawn on a paper napkin, economist Arthur Laffer and White House Chief of Staff Richard Cheney initiated the reshaping of American society. What sounds like the first line of the most implausible political thriller ever written is actually a factual (and frightening) demonstration of the overwhelming influence that economic ideas can have on our nation.
