I enjoyed reading Wanniski early after I came to the Right. Found him very informative and instructive. His favorable opinions of Louis Farrakhan made me stop reading him after a while, though.
Rest in peace, Mr. Wanniski.

I just found his last column that he published. It was on AlJazeera.net. Well, he did have a Buchanan/Sobran/Reese bent to him.

Wow, bummer. He made a big impression on me over the past twenty years.
Guess I'll have to take my marching orders from Lew Lehrman now.

Sad to hear that a free market hero moved on.
We can all hope that he is now in a better place.
To: Conservative Firster
He did not fit the template, that is for sure.
All to his credit.
If he was a nut, he was truly our nut.
I'd like to be remembered as so articulate.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss --- personal, I am sure, although you might have met the man only a few times. May his soul rest in peace.
But, at the same time, may I ask, what does a "principled conservative" do writing for al Jazeera and praising Farakhan?
To: Paleo Conservative
I am sure a freeper found a negative when our dear Reagan passed also.
Hang your head in shame.
The conservative economists are people we should be trying to emulate not viscerate at death. But then again, why am I surprised. GODSPEED JUDE and thanks.

God bless Mr. Wanniski and his family.
I think he was a great man, an American visionary whose work truly made the world a better place. His legacy includes lifting up the less fortunate in this country, and, increasingly, around the world. That's a lot for a man.
He will be missed.

What was stated here is an empirical fact, not opinion. The man was as sound as sound could be on economics. His gladhanding Farrakhan was offputting. One would think that conservatives would have a real problem with that. But I guess not.
That's the unadulterated truth.

He did raise the point that there is a level where government taxation is detrimental. The evidence over the last 25 years shows that the theory was right, it's just that the Laffer curve was too simplistically demonstrated (or too simplistically drawn on a chart for example.)
The evidence shows that low taxation economies have grown faster and there is clearly a point reached by high taxation economies where growth is stunted.
Good thing a few people took the theory seriously. It saved the US and quite a few other countries.

What a shame. He was required to learn about in my college economics classes along with Milton Friedman.
