YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFamed economist Arthur Laffer debates L.P. presidential candidate Chase Oliver.
----------
Economist and author Arthur B. Laffer and L.P. presidential candidate Chase Oliver debate the resolution, "Among the candidates actively running for President in November, Donald Trump is the best choice."
Defending the resolution is Laffer, who is widely recognized as "The Father of Supply-Side Economics," as his Laffer Curve is one of the main theoretical constructs of supply-side economics. Dr. Laffer was a member of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board for both of his terms and was a founding member of the Reagan Executive Advisory Committee for the presidential race of 1980. He also advised Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on fiscal policy in the UK during the 1980s. In 2019, Dr. Laffer was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Donald Trump. He's authored numerous books including his most recent, Taxes Have Consequences: An Income Tax History of the United States.
Arguing against the resolution is Oliver, the Libertarian Party's candidate for president. He rose to prominence in the party as the 2022 Libertarian Senate candidate in a highly competitive race in Georgia, where he pulled 2 percent of the vote, forcing it into a runoff, which ultimately resulted in the Democratic candidate winning, tipping the balance of the Senate in their favor.
The debate is moderated by Soho Forum director Gene Epstein.
