In 2020, due to the unprecedented circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide stay-at-home orders, the Hoover Institution produced almost all of its events virtually. Nevertheless, Hoover hosted more programs in 2020 than in any past year since its founding a century ago, while garnering millions of viewers across the globe.

Hoover Institution (Stanford, CA) - In 2020, the Hoover Institution launched the Human Prosperity Project, an initiative directed toward educating Americans about the world’s dominant, conflicting, and most fiercely debated economic systems: socialism and free-market capitalism. Chaired by senior fellows Scott W. Atlas and Edward P. Lazear, the project features essays, panel discussions, and digital media hosted on Hoover’s educational platform, PolicyEd.
