A passionate, detailed, quantified argument for state-level tax reform
An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of States explains why eliminating or lowering tax burdens at the state level leads to economic growth and wealth creation. A passionate argument for tax reform, the book shows that even states with small populations can benefit enormously with the right policies. The authors' detailed exposition evaluates the impact state and local government policies have on a state's relative performance and economic growth overall, backed up with economic data and analysis.
Facts don't lie. But they do point clearly to the failure of so-called progressive tax schemes designed more to curry favor with selected constituencies than to create an economic system that leads to individual wealth as the reward for hard work and entrepreneurial risk taking. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of States is a detailed and critical look at income taxation across the nation, and drills down into an analysis of the economic growth or malaise that results from tax policy. Arguing eloquently that a state cannot tax itself into prosperity, just as the impoverished cannot spend themselves into wealth, the authors point out what many inherently know but often fear to say out loud. The book provides detailed quantitative analysis, and discusses the policy variables that can have enormous effects on the financial well-being of states and individual residents, such as:
Personal and corporate income tax rates
Total tax burden as a percentage of personal income
Estate and inheritance taxes
Right-to-work laws
An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of States shows everyone how to evaluate state-level fiscal and economic policies to become more competitive.

"This is a book full of evidence, compelling in the way it reveals differences among states and clear consequences. Read, learn, and weep in some constituencies or give three cheers in others."
--George Shultz, distinguished fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, former United States Secretary of Labor, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of State, Director of the Office of Management and Budget and professor of economics at MIT and the University of Chicago
"Left wing, right wing, liberal, conservative, Democrat or Republican, Arthur Laffer's book, The Wealth of States has the facts and the framework for policymakers and citizens alike. Tapping decades of research and experience in state economics, Laffer, Moore, Sinquefield and Brown communicate clearly the guiding principles to elevate their states-and thus the nation as a whole-to levels of prosperity never before seen. State and local legislators should base their economic policies on this book-it's a game changer."
--Dick Cheney, 46th Vice President of the United States, former Secretary of Defense, member of the U.S. House of Representatives representing Wyoming and Chairman and CEO of Halliburton Company
"Wow! This compelling, comprehensive book will be the bible for state and local leaders who truly want rapid economic growth. It will profoundly, positively change politics and economics in America."
--Steve Forbes, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Media
"Arthur Laffer is justly known as the father of Supply Side Economics whose pro-growth tax cuts combined with Reagan's policies of limited government, free enterprise and strong defense ushered in a twenty five year economic renaissance. He is not as well known for his work on the States, but this book will change that. With Stephen Moore, Rex Sinquefield and Travis Brown, Laffer uses the marvelous laboratory of the fifty States-set in the environment of free trade, population mobility and a common underlying federal structure-to demonstrate conclusively that economic policy matters. Where taxes are low, private property rights are strong and free enterprise prevails, prosperity grows. High taxes, big government and special interest domination may work politically to win elections, but they fail to bring home the bacon. Prosperity is not an accident or a fate, it is a choice-a freedom choice."
--Phil Gramm, former U.S. Representative and Senator representing Texas and professor of economics at Texas A&M University
"Arthur Laffer's latest book on the states makes it clear that running a state is a lot like running a business. The goals are the same: making our businesses and states more prosperous, competitive, and attractive to investors and citizens. With important lessons identified, The Wealth of States will make its mark."
--Jack Welch, Chairman and CEO of General Electric, 1981-2001
"The widening gap in policies and prosperity among the states has been a source of increasing controversy. The migration of people and businesses from high-tax states such as California and Illinois to fast-rising rivals Texas, Nevada, and Florida is creating a divide that, to some observers, mirrors the battle between emerging markets and aging economies in decline. . . . An important new book identifies a major factor that, the authors claim, separates the winners from the laggards: state income taxes . . . . Given the authors' pedigree, the conclusions are predictable: Imposing income taxes inevitably leads to economic decline and enriches the competing states that don't have them. What gives their arguments credence is the staggering wealth of data summoned to support their claims."
--Shawn Tully, senior editor-at-large, Fortune, April 18, 2014.
"For the economist, the relocation decision offers a fascinating insight into the differences between attractive and repellent environments. If every state were exactly the same--same economy, same laws, same weather--the relocation decision wouldn't tell us anything of interest. People would still move, but there wouldn't be any discernible trends. We'd see the same number of people moving from Cuba to Florida as vice versa. But what if people systematically prefer one kind of jurisdiction over another when they move? . . . as a partial explanation for relocation decisions it's a fascinating insight, one that informs an important new book by Arthur Laffer, Stephen Moore, Rex Sinquefield, and Travis Brown, An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of States. The title, borrowed from Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, promises a revolutionary reinterpretation of what makes American states wealthy and, remarkably, the authors deliver on their promise. What they find, in brief, is that low-tax states deliver more wealth without sacrificing the social services that tax revenues are supposed to fund. They also find that people move in massive numbers from high- to low-tax states."
