Jude Wanniski papers, 1965–2006
Wanniski's correspondence, speeches and writings, and printed matter relate to economic policy and politics in the United States. As an editor of the Wall Street Journal, and later as the head of his own consulting firm, Polyconomics, Wanniski was a tireless advocate of supply-side economics, a term that he devised after becoming acquainted with the ideas of the economists Arthur Laffer and Robert Mundell. In opposition to Keynesian doctrine, Wanniski and other supply-siders promoted tax reductions and a reduced role for government as means of promoting capital formation and economic growth.
