Dr. Paul Craig Roberts is the recipient of the US Treasury Department’s Meritorious Service Award for “his outstanding contributions to the formulation of United States economic policy.” President Reagan appointed Dr. Roberts Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and he was confirmed in office by the U.S. Senate.

Together with Jack Kemp, Dr. Roberts is regarded as the co architect of the Reagan Revolution.

From 1975 to 1978, Dr. Roberts served on the congressional staff where he drafted the Kemp-Roth bill and played a leading role in developing bipartisan support for a supply-side economic policy. After leaving the Treasury, he served as a consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Commerce.

In 1987 the French government recognized him as “the artisan of a renewal in economic science and policy after half a century of state interventionism” and inducted him into the Legion of Honor.
