The Way the World Works

Book • 1998
In this book, Jude Wanniski presents a comprehensive theory of economic and political evolution.

He argues that government policies, particularly tax rates, play a crucial role in economic growth and stability.

Wanniski popularizes the concept of the Laffer Curve, which suggests that there is an optimal tax rate that maximizes government revenue.

The book also explores historical economic events, such as the 1929 stock market crash and the impact of the Smoot-Hawley tariff, and offers insights into the nexus between economic policy and human action.

Wanniski's work has been influential in shaping supply-side economic policies and is considered one of the 100 most influential books of the 20th century by National Review magazine.
