Synopsis

Donald Trump promised the American people a transformative change in economic policy after eight years of stagnation under Obama. But he didn’t adopt a conventional left or right economic agenda. His is a new economic populism that combines some conventional Republican ideas–tax cuts, deregulation, more power to the states–with more traditional Democratic issues such as trade protectionism and infrastructure spending. It also mixes in important populist issues such as immigration reform, pressuring the Europeans to pay for more of their own defense, and keeping America first.

In Trumponomics, conservative economists Stephen Moore and Arthur B. Laffer offer a well-informed defense of the president's approach to trade, taxes, employment, infrastructure, and other economic policies. Moore and Laffer worked as senior economic advisors to Donald Trump in 2016. They traveled with him, frequently met with his political and economic teams, worked on his speeches, and represented him as surrogates. They are currently members of the Trump Advisory Council and still meet with him regularly. In Trumponomics, they offer an insider’s view on how Trump operates in public and behind closed doors, his priorities and passions, and his greatest attributes and liabilities.

Trump is betting his presidency that he can create an economic revival in America’s industrial heartland. Can he really bring jobs back to the rust belt? Can he cut taxes and bring the debt down? Above all, does he have the personal discipline, the vision, the right team, and the right strategy to pull off his ambitious economic goals? Moore and Laffer believe that he can pull it off and that Trumponomics will usher in a new era of prosperity for all Americans.

Goodreads review by Craig on June 23, 2019

This book should be at the top of the list to read among the dozens of current books addressing what happened in the 2016 campaign and election, plus the follow-on of what actually has transpired in the 2017-18 administration. More than just a description of the Trump administration approach to the r......more

“Trumponomics” by Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore is a deep dive into the theory, assumptions, and politics of the 2017 Trump tax bill.

Goodreads review by Jonathan on October 25, 2019

The main reason I picked up this book was because Arthur Laffer came to Liberty University and spoke at our convocation. I had heard of him and was intrigued by his book. The book itself is pretty good. It's only 270 pages(a fact of nonfiction books that I'm pleased with and also irks me) and reads p......more
