23 years ago today, Peter Robinson sat down with former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese III, and San Jose Police Chief, Joseph McNamara, to discuss drug decriminalization and the war on drugs. Today we celebrate 23 years of @uncommon_knowledge_show with special re-released footage of the first episode. Watch now at the link in bio to see how much has changed and how much hasn't. #HooverInstitution #Stanford #HooverDC #WashingtonDC 🍕& Policy: This week, former secretary of state and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Condoleezza Rice joined students over pizza for a conversation about current affairs. The dinner, part of an event series held throughout the academic year at Hoover, brought together Stanford students and Secretary Rice to foster ideas about public policy issues and the future. #HooverInstitution @Stanford #Stanford #HooverDC #WashingtonDC “I have always felt that you can learn about the future—or at least relate to it—by studying the past and identifying principles that have continuing application to our lives and our world,” writes former secretary of state and Hoover Institution Fellow George Shultz. Shultz, 98, has led a remarkable life, having served in the Marines during WWII, and a distinguished career in government, in academia, and in the business world. Shultz was sworn in on July 16, 1982 as the sixtieth US secretary of state, serving until January 20, 1989, and is one of two individuals who have held four different federal cabinet posts. His book “Thinking about the Future,” released today, offers a reflection on his life and ideas for approaching today’s issues. “Technology and demography can’t be halted; they will always go forward. The United States will need to find ways to adapt domestically, but if these trends are handled well, the prospects for American to benefit are remarkably bright.” Available now 📚 #HooverInstitution #Stanford #HooverDC #WashingtonDC Thursday, the Hoover Institution welcomed U.S. Senator Josh Hawley to the #HooverDC office. Hawley joined Hoover Institution Fellows Adam White and Jeremy Carl, and others to provide perspectives on discussions related to the future of the internet. Hawley’s remarks available now at the link in bio. 🇺🇸🌎 #HooverInstitution #Stanford #WashingtonDC On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans, unleashing one of the great natural disasters in American history. The public schools, like the rest of the city, were devastated. But out of the rubble, reformers have managed to create an innovative, distinctly different education system. In new book “The Politics of Institutional Reform,” Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Terry Moe asks the question “Can a unique event and its unique aftermath open the door to a better understanding of American education reform, and even of institutional reform more generally?” “Katrina allows us to pull back the curtain and, for the first time in the history of modern American education, see the unseen, study the unstudied, and gain a better understanding of the politics of institutional stability and change. My focus here is on public education. But the themes at work are just as valid, and just as valuable, for what they say about institutions more generally. We can learn from Katrina.” Available now. 📚 #HooverInstitution #Stanford #HooverDC #WashingtonDC The financial crisis of 2008 tested the resilience of the American economy in fundamental ways. It also tested, and continues to test the Federal Reserve. Evaluating the Fed’s current monetary policy strategy formed the backdrop of today’s monetary policy conference, in which Senior Fellows John Taylor and John Cochrane brought together leading influencers and minds in the field of economics including George Shultz, Federal Reserve Vice Chair Richard Clarida, FOMC members, and others to discuss monetary policy issues. #HooverInstitution #Stanford #HooverDC #WashingtonDC A collection of photos from today's policy roundtable discussion in Stanford, CA. A number of Hoover Institution Fellows including Condoleezza Rice, H.R. McMaster, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Michael McFaul, Larry Diamond, Amy Zegart, and Kevin Warsh contributed perspectives on a variety of subject areas related to current affairs and the American electorate in discussions with visiting members of the media. #HooverInstitution #Stanford #HooverDC #WashingtonDC The Hoover Institution appreciates the role of Congressional staff, as they advise Members on the critically important policy issues that routinely come before Congress. The institution is uniquely positioned to offer these staff comprehensive policy seminars that explore both the philosophical foundations of political reasoning as well as the mechanics of the policies themselves. Twice a year the Hoover Institution in DC convenes a group of Congressional staff at Hoover’s facilities on @Stanford’s campus in Palo Alto, California for an educational seminar that features Hoover Institution Fellows, along with other distinguished visiting scholars. These seminars delve into the scholars’ policy research and expertise in economics, education, energy, health care, foreign and national security, and the U.S. political tradition. This intensive program includes a day and a half of seminars, along with two evening symposiums where Hoover scholars discuss a wide selection of topics keeping in line with Hoover’s mission. The Hoover Institution was founded “…to recall man’s endeavors to make and preserve peace, and to sustain for America the safeguards of the American way of life” through principles of individual, economic, and political freedom; private enterprise; and representative government. 🇺🇸 #HooverInstitution #Stanford #HooverDC #WashingtonDC (📷: @patrickbeaudouin) Today the Hoover Institution welcomed @dancrenshawtx to the @Stanford campus. Crenshaw met with a number of Hoover Institution Fellows on numerous issues of our time. 🇺🇸🌎 #HooverInstitution #Stanford #HooverDC #WashingtonDC On April 22, 1919, Herbert Hoover sent a telegram from Paris to his wife, Lou Henry Hoover, in Palo Alto, California. Folded between an opening line about the construction of the Hoovers’ family home on the Stanford campus and a closing suggesting that Mrs. Hoover come to Paris with the couple’s two boys was a message marking the founding of the institution that would bear his name, the Hoover Institution: “Advise Wilbur [and] Adams that if they keep it entirely confidential we can find cost of their sending at once suitable mission to Europe to collect historical material on war provided it does not exceed fifty thousand without further consideration.” Today marks one hundred years since the founding of the Hoover Institution from one small telegram—a century marked by intellectual breakthroughs and policy innovation. Throughout its history, the institution’s fellows, staff, and supporters have worked together using public policy to address the most important issues of our time, helping promote prosperity, peace, and the exceptional foundational values of the United States. It stands today as the world’s preeminent archive and policy research center dedicated to freedom, private enterprise, and effective, limited government.
