Charlotte, NC, September 14, 2011 — Alpha Theory is proud to present Dr. Art Laffer, creator of the “Laffer Curve” and “The Father of Supply-Side Economics”, for an economic forum. Dr. Laffer will present on the political environment in Washington and abroad, as well as, the current economic outlook.
Dr. Arthur Laffer is the Founder of Laffer Associates, an economic research and consulting firm. Dr. Laffer is considered the father of supply-side economics and is best known for the "Laffer Curve" which was made famous while he was a member of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board for both of his terms (1981-1989). He also advised Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on fiscal policy in the United Kingdom during the 1980s. His economic acumen and influence triggered a world-wide tax-cutting movement in the 1980s. One of his earliest successes in shaping public policy was his involvement in Proposition 13, the groundbreaking California initiative that drastically cut property taxes in the state in 1978. Dr. Laffer was a professor of economics at Pepperdine, University of Southern California and University of Chicago. Dr. Laffer received a B.A. in Economics from Yale University, and an MBA and a Ph.D. in Economics from Stanford University (for a more extensive bio and reference to

“We are fortunate to have Dr. Laffer speak with our clients about the current geopolitical environment,” said Cameron Hight, President of Alpha Theory. “The rancorous discourse in Washington makes Dr. Laffer’s experience and perspective more valuable than ever.”
This event will be held Tuesday, September 20th at 11:30am at The Union League Club in New York City. For more information contact Cameron Hight, Alpha Theory CEO at [email protected].
