US economist Arthur Laffer — the man behind the famous “Laffer Curve” — joins Merryn Talks Money to explain why he thinks Western economies, especially the UK, have pushed taxes too far. As Chancellor Rachel Reeves prepares for her next budget, Laffer warns Britain is heading for stagnation, not growth. He makes the case for a radical rethink: lower taxes, less red tape, and a return to pro-growth policies inspired by Reagan, Kennedy, and Thatcher. Tune in to hear why he believes the UK could be on the brink of an economic revival — if it dares to change course.
