To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the March on Washington, Americans across the nation are reflecting on the progress of civil rights in the past half century. Three Hoover fellows offer their perspectives on the successes and the failures of the movement.

In a new book entitled Observations on the Financial Crisis, Stanford professor Keith Hennessey and Stanford professor and Hoover senior fellow Edward P. Lazear draw on their experiences in the Bush administration, as well as discussions with colleagues and students, to present their thoughts and correct misperceptions about the financial crisis. The nineteen observations span the full trajectory of the financial crisis, from the various causes to Presidents Bush and Obama’s responses to the effects of the government’s actions.
