We’re pleased to announce that legendary supply-side economist Richard Vedder has joined Unleash Prosperity as a senior fellow. Back 40 years ago, Vedder did the original study documenting the migration of Americans from high-tax to low-tax states at a pace of 1,000 people a day.

He also was the architect of the Russia flat tax of 13 percent in 2000.  Why can’t we do that here?

There has also been no more influential critic of the pervasive corruption of higher ed than Vedder, and his new book Let Colleges Fail.

He’s already been busy. His latest piece on a pro-growth immigration policy in the Washington Post has garnered lots of attention.
