Recommended.

(I cannot recommend poring over the book; a deep skim indicated to me that simply reading his recommendations at the end and a few of the supporting arguments within captures much of the value of the book. YMMV)

Also entertaining for the story behind the “discovery” and naming of the Laffer curve. :-)
