Abraham Lincoln's War On Inequality
Abraham Lincoln would be embarrassed about the polarization of U.S. politics today, 150 years after his assassination. Make no mistake, Lincoln was a polarizing president.
Policy Powerhouse
Both a scholar and a skillful practitioner of the art of practical politics, the late Hoover fellow Martin Anderson took transformative ideas and made them real.
Did Edwin Cannan Think A 100 Percent Income Tax Rate Was Fair?
The earliest 20th-century reference I have been able to find to a Laffer curve effect is in a 1901 article by London School of Economics professor Edwin Cannan.
John Taylor On USA Today
At the World Bank 2015 Spring Meetings, Hoover fellow John Taylor discusses the "Taylor rule," which is a formula or strategy that would force policymakers to raise rates a certain amount in response to inflation and the difference between actual and potential economic output.
A Narrow Focus That Undercuts Trust
President Barack Obama does deserve credit for increasing economic sanctions and espionage against the Iranian nuclear programs. Keeping the Russians, Chinese and Europeans supporting economic and diplomatic isolation of Iran is a major achievement, and probably had more to do with Iran agreeing to negotiate than did the election of a reformist president in Iran.
The Precise (And Narrow) Limits On U.S. Economic Espionage
This Intercept story on New Zealand’s surveillance of candidates for director general of the World Trade Organization sparked a related conversation yesterday on twitter about the exact scope of U.S. economic espionage.
Why More Infrastructure Spending Is Unlikely to Create Jobs and Stimulate the Economy
Senators put aside differences to support corporate welfare
Big Government As The New Terminator
Social observers from Aristotle and Juvenal to James Madison and George Orwell have all warned of the dangers of out-of-control government. Lately, we have seen plenty of proof that they were frighteningly correct.
John H. Cochrane For President
"John H. Cochrane for President" is my "call" after reading his article in last week's Wall Street Journal. Mr. Cochrane is a senior fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and in my opinion a really smart, and pragmatic, guy.
Liberty City
Dekornfeld: But nothing would prepare him [James Massey] for what he would find in Von Ormy because all those classes were about building city government. And in Von Ormy, the sole goal seemed to be the opposite.
Elizabeth Cobbs: PBS Documentary Explores The Future Of Automation And The American Dream
Hoover Institution fellow Elizabeth Cobbs discusses her and James Shelley's new PBS documentary, "Cyberwork and the American Dream."
Annus horribilis: Two futuristic looks at the crash of 2009
In 2005's fictional "Countdown to a Meltdown," The Atlantic magazine's James Fallows describes America's coming economic crisis by looking back from the election of 2016 -- when the 46th president of the United States will be the first since before the Civil War to be neither Democrat nor Republican...

Increased Efficiency: Our Best Source Of Clean Energy
Increases in energy efficiency are an often-forgotten component of our shift to clean energy and reduced carbon emissions. Higher prices triggered by the 1973 oil embargo caused America to drastically change how it used energy. The ensuing gains in efficiency had more of an impact on America’s energy consumption than all of the growth in solar, wind, geothermal, natural gas and nuclear energy combined.
Symposium: Government Agencies Shouldn’t Get To Put A Thumb On The Scales
All James Kisor may want is for the Department of Veterans Affairs to alter the effective date of his veteran disability benefits, but his legal challenge to the VA’s denial of his claims has given the Supreme Court an opportunity to revisit one of the more problematic doctrines in administrative law: Auer deference, under which federal courts are obligated to defer to permissible agency interpretations of their own regulations.
Obama Orders Fuel Efficiency
On Monday morning, President Barack Obama signed executive orders that could speed the reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions from automobiles by improving fuel economy and setting stricter emissions standards...
California’s Economic Suicide
Last fall, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law requiring his state to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 40 percent below 1990 levels. That ratchets the state’s already severe limits down even tighter, now requiring a reduction to levels not seen since the 1950s or earlier. Some are beginning to understand that it cannot be done in the modern era without extreme new regulations, which could quite literally give the state power to control nearly every detail of life.
