A history of "supply-side economics" and the Laffer Curve published by Art Laffer's economic consulting firm in 2003. It was reviewed and edited by Laffer himself, who later reprinted it in a book published by the Laffer Center: "The Pillars of Reaganomics" (San Francisco, 2014). It is, therefore, as close to an official history of this subject as presently exists.
