Stephen Moore

Stephen Moore is an American economist and policy analyst, known for his influential work in the fields of tax policy and economic reform. Born in Washington, D.C., Moore has had a long career as a conservative commentator, advising on economic policies both in the U.S. and internationally. He served as a senior economic analyst at The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, and has written extensively on topics ranging from tax cuts to government spending. Moore was also an economic advisor to Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign and later served on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

In addition to his role as an analyst, Moore has been a frequent contributor to major publications, including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, offering his perspective on free-market economics and the importance of reducing government intervention in the economy. His books, such as “Trumponomics: Inside the America First Plan to Revive Our Economy” (2018), have outlined his views on economic nationalism and his support for tax policies aimed at stimulating business growth and job creation.

One of Moore’s key quotes is, "The goal of tax cuts is not just to cut taxes, but to create jobs and grow the economy," reflecting his belief in the power of tax reduction as a tool for economic growth. Another notable quote is, "Government doesn't create jobs, it creates obstacles to job creation," which encapsulates his perspective on government regulation and its impact on economic prosperity. Moore’s ideas continue to influence discussions around fiscal policy and economic reform in the U.S.
