Leonard A. Rapping (April 16, 1934 – October 1, 1991)[1] was an American economist, most famous for his work with Robert E. Lucas which laid the foundations for real business cycle theory. Although the implications of this work supported laissez-faire policies, Rapping's ideas subsequently evolved in a radical direction. He was highly critical of the supply-side policies of the Reagan administration.[2]
