A New Initiative at the Hoover Institution
In the 2024‒25 academic year, a collective of scholars at the Hoover Institution have brilliantly orchestrated the commencement of the Hoover Prosperity Program. This cutting-edge endeavour, rooted in research, aspires to enrich our understanding. It seeks to empower both the populace and policymakers with the insights necessary to forge a flourishing future.
Roots of Economic Thought
Dr. Stephen Haber, the admirable Peter and Helen Bing Senior Fellow, helms this initiative. He venerates the founding fathers of the United States, attributing unprecedented insight to their grasp of the link between free markets, governance constraint, and liberty. According to Haber, attempts at alternative systems have only reaffirmed these beliefs, which historically lifted standards of living and invigorated opportunities.
Diverse Scholarly Insights
The Prosperity Program boasts a constellation of esteemed fellows, including Amit Seru, Peter Blair Henry, and others. They ardently believe addressing modern challenges requires revisiting and reassessing pivotal historical principles. Consequently, their aspirations lie in fostering a judicious, evidence-based dialogue illuminating paths to growth and prosperity.
A Multitude of Research Initiatives
Moreover, the Prosperity Program coordinates a variety of initiatives, encompassing groups like Corporate Governance, Emerging Market and Developing Economies, and Financial Regulation. Additionally, the J-P Conte Initiative on Immigration continues to unearth insights from pivotal immigration issues affecting economic vitality.
