The [[Laffer Curve]] is named after his promotion of the concept that, when tax rates are high, a decrease in tax rates can cause an increase in tax revenues. A reporter for the Wall Street Journal, Jude Wanniski, coined the term after seeing Laffer sketch the curve on a napkin. Previously economists mistakenly assumed that a tax rate close to 100% maximized tax revenues.
