While the political parties duke it out over divisive social issues, the majority of Americans remain steadfastly in the middle. . . .

On April 8, 2020, Josh D. Rauh presented on “The Fiscal Policy Response to the Coronavirus and What We've Learned” at a virtual meeting of the Hoover Working Group on Economic Policy. 

The three Republicans looking to unseat Barbara Boxer — Tom Campbell, Chuck DeVore and Carly Fiorina — square off for an hour-long debate this afternoon in Sacramento, starting at noon, on radio’s “Capitol Hour” show hosted by Eric Hogue. . . .

Lawrence Summers, President Emeritus and Charles W. Eliot University Professor at Harvard University, and former U.S. treasury secretary, talked about “Responsible Nationalism.” 

Michael Boskin, Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and T. M. Friedman Professor of Economics at Stanford University, discussed “Inequality Shocks and Redistribution.”

On Friday, March 15, 2013, Edward Lazear, the Morris Arnold and Nona Jean Cox Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution and the Jack Steele Parker Professor of Human Resources, Management and Economics at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, received a conferment as an honorary doctor from the Copenhagen Business School (CBS) in Copenhagen, Denmark. Lazear then gave a talk titled An Economist’s Approach to Leadership at the school’s annual celebration.

Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), gave a talk on “Bringing America Back Together.” He started by arguing that the degree of polarization in America has reached unprecedented proportions. He suggested that institutions such as Hoover and AEI have an intellectual and moral responsibility to advocate the ideas on which they were formed. He believed that if such ideas were applied, the broad-based economic growth that would follow would take America away from the polarized situation it finds itself in right now.
