Join us on the campus of Stanford University for a live audience edition of GoodFellows, the Hoover Institution’s premier broadcast series examining the currents of history, economics, and geopolitics.
The GoodFellows, economist John Cochrane, historian Niall Ferguson, and geopolitical strategist and scholar Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, will be joined by moderator Bill Whalen to explore the United States Constitution as one of the most consequential frameworks ever devised for governing a nation.
Through three perspectives—historical innovation, national power, and economic design, the conversation will examine:
- Why the Constitution was a radical departure from previous systems of government
- How it was designed to preserve a strong union while limiting and dividing power, including authority over war and the military
- The economic foundations it established for long-term prosperity, including trade, property rights, and a national currency
This live taping brings the GoodFellows conversation from the studio to the stage for the first time, offering a rare opportunity to experience it in person.
Seating is limited. We recommend early arrival as seating will be first-come, first-served.
