Tens of thousands of truck drivers were scheming earlier this year to strike. Such a work stoppage could have tremendous implications – some 71% of freight is moved by long-haul trucks, including groceries, manufactured goods, and even money. “We’re not all fat slobs, and we don’t all do the stereotypical trucker things,” Will Kling, a truck driver based in Reno, Nevada, told Business Insider last year. “Trucking has been forgotten.”

Family, friends and colleagues of the late legendary economist Aaron Director gathered to celebrate his life with a memorial service October 28 at the Hoover Institution.

With the annual number of immigrants to the United States at an all-time high, the debate over immigration has reached a fevered pitch. Do today's immigrants come to this country just to go on welfare? Will immigration forever change America's ethnic, cultural, and political landscape?

In the last decade and a half, India and China have both engaged in extensive economic reforms, in effect bringing their joint population of some 2.3 billion into the worldwide system of capitalism and free trade. Those 2.3 billion people, many of whom are extremely well educated, are by and large willing to work harder and for less pay than are Americans. Are India and China's expanding and modernizing economies threatening America's long global dominance of science, technology, and industry? If so, what should we do about it? Peter Robinson speaks with Craig Barrett, Stephen Moore, and Peter A. Thiel.

The two-day conference, co-sponsored by the Hoover Institution and the Korea Development Institute, focused on economic reform, dealing primarily with the South Korean and American economies. Half of the papers presented illuminated problems confronting Korea's economic growth, and the other half, by Hoover fellows, addressed U.S. economic challenges and offered policy recommendations. One of the objectives of the conference was to increase understanding and share expertise about the impact of economic policy and the development of public policy at a national level. Conference directors were Kenneth Judd and Young-Ki Lee.

Just two years ago, in the 2000 fiscal year, the annual federal budget had a surplus of $236 billion. Now the federal government is facing a budget deficit of more than $150 billion, possibly much more. And whereas during the presidential campaign of 2000, the candidates were debating how to spend trillions in expected future surpluses, the Congressional Budget Office is now projecting a cumulative $1 trillion deficit by 2011. What happened to the surplus, and what is to blame for the return of the deficit? Is it President Bush's tax cut? Or was it the recession of 2001 and the war on terrorism? In light of the deficit, what should we make of the president's budget plans?

On the one hand, the federal government provides farmers with subsidies worth billions every year. On the other, it imposes arcane, burdensome regulations on the development of new crops, costing farmers billions every year. Hoover fellow Henry I. Miller explains how the government giveth and the government taketh away.

Wednesday, May 5, 1999 STANFORD Nearly $100 billion in federal subsidies is given annually to U.S. businesses. If this was done away with, personal income tax could be reduced 10 percent across the board or capital gains and death taxes could be ...
