Jude Wanniski

As an associate editor of The Wall Street Journal from 1972 to 1978, Jude Wanniski helped repopularize classical economic theories and coined the term supply side economics. His book, The Way The World Works, became a foundation for the economic policies of the Reagan Administration.

In 1997 Jude Wanniski founded the online learning centre known as the "Supply Side University". He also runs an organisation devoted to political commentary and another that offers investment advice (Polyconomics).

He became a somewhat controversial figure at the beginning of 2003 when he vocally opposed much of the thinking behind the impending US war with Iraq.
