Hillsdale College Launches New Online Teaching Series: “Supply-Side Economics and American Prosperity with Arthur Laffer”
HILLSDALE, Mich. — Hillsdale College announces its newest online teaching series, “Supply-Side Economics and American Prosperity with Arthur Laffer.” The free teaching series, released August 23, is taught by award-winning economist Dr. Arthur Laffer, who is joined by Steve Forbes, Larry Kudlow, Stephen Moore, Amity Shlaes, Brian Domitrovic, and Larry P. Arnn, to teach the fundamentals of macroeconomics.
“It has been a joy to partner with Dr. Laffer on this project,” says Kyle Murnen, direct of online learning at Hillsdale College. “Dr. Laffer combines incredible knowledge and experience in economics with great wit and clarity. He’s able to make the most difficult concepts in economics clear and engaging.”
In 2019, Laffer received the Presidential Medal of Freedom “for his contributions to economic policy, which have helped spur prosperity for our nation.” President Trump said that Laffer “proved that the most powerful way to grow the economy and raise government revenue was not to increase tax rates but to adopt strong incentives that unleash the power of human freedom and innovate, create jobs, and deliver greater opportunity to all Americans. And he’s proved it over and over again.”
Widely known as “The Father of Supply-Side Economics,” Laffer explains his economic theory and the eponymous Laffer Curve in this brand-new teaching series that combines the instruction of an online course with the features of a documentary.
“Students will be thrilled by this new teaching experience from Hillsdale College,” said Juan Davalos, director of online learning marketing. “The episodes are not only deeply informative, but also incredibly engaging. I could see myself watching it over and over again. It’s that good.”
“Supply-Side Economics” examines the five kingdoms of macroeconomics: taxation, government spending, regulatory policy, sound money, and trade. The eight-episode series includes lessons on:
- the Laffer curve
- a history of the last century of taxation in America
- income inequality
- why some States prosper while others don’t
- the consequences of redistribution
- trade, debts, and deficits
- Laffer’s recommendations to unleash economic prosperity again
