Prof. Rajshree Agarwal On The Rubin Report: The True Value Of Free Enterprise [Watch]

Richard Morrison, Competitive Enterprise Institute

I’ve been very interested over the last several years to see Dave Rubin’s metamorphosis from stand-up comedian to podcast co-host to serious public affairs interviewer and host of The Rubin Report. He’s had a long list of outspoken guests, from conservative commentator Ben Shapiro to British actor Stephen Fry to controversial psychology professor Jordan Peterson. This week, however, he’s released a pair of conversations with one of my favorite academics, Prof. Rajshree Agarwal of the University of Maryland.

Agarwal teaches at Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business, where she is also the director of the Ed Snider Center for Enterprise and Markets, and she’s a passionate advocate of entrepreneurship and the infinite possibilities of the human mind.

The Reagan Tax Cuts Worked

Thanks to "bracket creep," the inflation of the 1970s pushed millions of taxpayers into higher tax brackets even though their inflation-adjusted incomes were not rising. To help offset this tax increase and also to improve incentives to work, save, and invest, President Reagan proposed sweeping tax rate reductions during the 1980s. What happened? Total tax revenues climbed by 99.4 percent during the 1980s, and the results are even more impressive when looking at what happened to personal income tax revenues. Once the economy received an unambiguous tax cut in January 1983, income tax revenues climbed dramatically, increasing by more than 54 percent by 1989 (28 percent after adjusting for inflation).
