Hoover Digest HOOVER DIGEST RESEARCH + OPINION ON PUBLIC POLICY SUMMER 2021 NO. 3 THE HOOVER INSTITUTION • STANFORD UNIVERSITY The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace was established at Stanford University in 1919 by Herbert Hoover, a member of Stanford’s pioneer graduating class of 1895 and the thirty-first president of the United States. Created as a library and repository of documents, the Institution enters its second century with a dual identity: an active public policy research center and an internationally recognized library and archives. The Institution’s overarching goals are to: » Understand the causes and consequences of economic, political, and social change » Analyze the effects of government actions and public policies » Use reasoned argument and intellectual rigor to generate ideas that nurture the formation of public policy and benefit society Herbert Hoover’s 1959 statement to the Board of Trustees of Stanford University continues to guide and define the Institution’s mission in the twenty-first century: This Institution supports the Constitution of the United States, its Bill of Rights, and its method of representative government. Both our social and economic systems are based on private enterprise, from which springs initiative and ingenuity. Ours is a system where the Federal Government should undertake no governmental, social, or economic action, except where local government, or the people, cannot undertake it for themselves. The overall mission of this Institution is, from its records, to recall the voice of experience against the making of war, and by the study of these records and their publication to recall man’s endeavors to make and preserve peace, and to sustain for America the safeguards of the American way of life. This Institution is not, and must not be, a mere library. But with these purposes as its goal, the Institution itself must constantly and dynamically point the road to peace, to personal freedom, and to the safeguards of the American system. By collecting knowledge and generating ideas, the Hoover Institution seeks to improve the human condition with ideas that promote opportunity and prosperity, limit government intrusion into the lives of individuals, and secure and safeguard peace for all.

Today’s deepest challenge to the values of the West comes from China, which is moving to sweep away the very idea of individual rights. By Charles Hill 15 Charles Hill: Grand Strategist The late Hoover fellow was a genius at weaving “giant ideas” into analyses of the problems, and the promise, of the world. By Harrison Smith 19 Exposing the Kleptocrats Ten steps to combat the mega-corruption that saps national wealth and smothers democracy. By Larry Diamond 27 Courage, not Cancellation Free speech means citizens are willing both to question and to be questioned. By Peter Berkowitz THE ECONOMY 32 We Are the Builders Politicians will not “build back better” with yet more vast packages of ineffective centralized programs. They must learn what communities want and need—and let them fulfill those wants and needs. By Raghuram G. Rajan HOOVER DIGEST • Summer 2021 3 37 The Shape of Recovery The second half of this year is likely to bring a surge in pent- up demand, especially in high-value service industries. By Michael Spence 41 Borrowed Time The United States was already on a dangerous debt binge even before the pandemic. More reckless spending will overwhelm investment, growth, and job creation. By George P. Shultz, John F. Cogan, and John B. Taylor 47 How to Kill Opportunity There’s no doubt: the minimum wage deprives low-skilled workers—especially young people—of an essential foothold on the job market. By David R. Henderson CHINA 53 The High Road The US-China rivalry represents, above all, a difference in values. The United States’ strength springs from its support for an open, multilateral world order. By Elizabeth Economy 64 Better Footing How to grapple with Chinese ambitions—military, economic, and ideological. By H. R. McMaster 4 HOOVER DIGEST • Summer 2021 72 Taiwan as Trigger American presidents come and go, but Beijing has never once taken its eyes off Taiwan, or ceased demanding it. By Niall Ferguson 85 Freedom’s Struggle With China increasingly dominant, nations in the Indo-Pacific seek their own paths between socialism and capitalism. By Michael R. Auslin AFRICA 94 Ethiopia Unravels Fresh conflict in the Horn of Africa is more than a humanitarian crisis—it’s a blow to regional security and US interests. By Jendayi Frazer and Judd Devermont THE MIDDLE EAST 98 Studying War No More The Abraham Accords established at least a nascent Arab- Israeli amity. Now educational programs can nurture it. By Peter Berkowitz NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION 103 George Shultz’s Vision The late statesman dreamed of eliminating the danger of nuclear weapons. His allies continue striving to make that dream a reality. By William J. Perry, Henry A. Kissinger, and Sam Nunn IMMIGRATION 108 Getting It Right The push for open borders ignores the hard questions. How to ask—and answer—them. By Richard A. Epstein HOOVER DIGEST • Summer 2021 5 113 Predators and Prey Rising sexual violence in Europe—linked to young immigrant men—threatens women’s hard-earned rights. It must not be ignored. By Ayaan Hirsi Ali EDUCATION 120 How Schools Can Turn the Page At a time of countless programs for reform, Clint Bolick and Kate J. Hardiman champion reforms that will work. By Jonathan Movroydis 128 A Republic, if You Can Teach It A new effort to teach civics education holds real promise—if our hoary K–12 system can be persuaded to try it. By Chester E. Finn Jr. NATIONAL SECURITY 131 This Is No Time to Stumble The Biden administration gets no honeymoon from geopolitical dangers. By Victor Davis Hanson CALIFORNIA 138 Tarnished Gold Yesterday’s state of limitless promise is today’s state of smoke and mirrors—and broken promises. By Peter Robinson 6 HOOVER DIGEST • Summer 2021 NATIVE AMERICANS 146 Hope and Change in Indian Country? President Biden’s new interior secretary, Deb Haaland, has a chance to fix the system that leaves many of America’s first people poor and powerless. But will she take it? By Terry L. Anderson INTERVIEWS 153 The Road to Selfdom To Matthew Crawford, author of Why We Drive, the open road symbolizes the vanishing realm of human autonomy and skill. By Russ Roberts 164 The Man Who Wouldn’t Be Canceled The mob came for Laurence Fox, a brilliant British actor, after he made some mildly controversial remarks on the BBC. Refusing to apologize and vanish, Fox then launched a quixotic counterattack: a campaign for mayor of London. By Peter Robinson 175 “Turning People into Americans” Hoover fellow Niall Ferguson is optimistic that future immigrants will find their “kaleidoscopic identity” within the American experiment, just as so many others have done.

As the second most-populous country in Africa, and a country that has demonstrated resilience in the face of recurrent hazards, Ethiopia can be a country model for inclusive development that is sustainable, equity-focused and risk-informed. In pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations Agenda 2030, the African Union’s Agenda 2063 and Ethiopia’s own current national development agenda, the Second Five- Year Growth and Transformation Plan 2015/2016-2019/2020 (GTP II), there must be broad-scale commitment across country stakeholders to leave no one behind.

  • The Regime Change Consensus: Iraq in American Politics, 1990-2003
    THE REGIME CHANGE CONSENSUS: IRAQ IN AMERICAN POLITICS, 1990-2003 Joseph Stieb A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2019 Approved by: Wayne Lee Michael Morgan Benjamin Waterhouse Daniel Bolger Hal Brands ©2019 Joseph David Stieb ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Joseph David Stieb: The Regime Change Consensus: Iraq in American Politics, 1990-2003 (Under the direction of Wayne Lee) This study examines the containment policy that the United States and its allies imposed on Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War and argues for a new understanding of why the United States invaded Iraq in 2003. At the core of this story is a political puzzle: Why did a largely successful policy that mostly stripped Iraq of its unconventional weapons lose support in American politics to the point that the policy itself became less effective? I argue that, within intellectual and policymaking circles, a claim steadily emerged that the only solution to the Iraqi threat was regime change and democratization. While this “regime change consensus” was not part of the original containment policy, a cohort of intellectuals and policymakers assembled political support for the idea that Saddam’s personality and the totalitarian nature of the Baathist regime made Iraq uniquely immune to “management” strategies like containment. The entrenchment of this consensus before 9/11 helps explain why so many politicians, policymakers, and intellectuals rejected containment after 9/11 and embraced regime change and invasion.

  • The Pulitzer Prizes for International Reporting in the Third Phase of Their Development, 1963-1977
    INTRODUCTION THE PULITZER PRIZES FOR INTERNATIONAL REPORTING IN THE THIRD PHASE OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT, 1963-1977 Heinz-Dietrich Fischer The rivalry between the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. having shifted, in part, to predomi- nance in the fields of space-travel and satellites in the upcoming space age, thus opening a new dimension in the Cold War,1 there were still existing other controversial issues in policy and journalism. "While the colorful space competition held the forefront of public atten- tion," Hohenberg remarks, "the trained diplomatic correspondents of the major newspa- pers and wire services in the West carried on almost alone the difficult and unpopular East- West negotiations to achieve atomic control and regulation and reduction of armaments. The public seemed to want to ignore the hard fact that rockets capable of boosting people into orbit for prolonged periods could also deliver atomic warheads to any part of the earth. It continued, therefore, to be the task of the responsible press to assign competent and highly trained correspondents to this forbidding subject. They did not have the glamor of TV or the excitement of a space shot to focus public attention on their work. Theirs was the responsibility of obliging editors to publish material that was complicated and not at all easy for an indifferent public to grasp. It had to be done by abandoning the familiar cliches of journalism in favor of the care and the art of the superior historian .. On such an assignment, no correspondent was a 'foreign' correspondent. The term was outdated.

Scripture tells us that praying for our Gleaders is one of the best ways we can do this. “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence” (1 Timothy 2:1-2 NKJV). It is better to pray for governmental leaders — local, state, and national — than to criticize them. This doesn’t mean we always agree with their every action or condone legislative decisions contrary to biblical principles.

  • October 2019
    Abington Senior High School, Abington, PA, 19001 October 2019 It’s October! Th ink Pink! By Rachel Oh Th e start of October signals many things: colder nights, changing leaves, approaching early action/decision deadlines for seniors, and of course, the annual Pink Out football game! Versing Pennsbury this year on October 18th, the night is sure to be fi lled with excitement and is an easy opportunity to express school spirit through a great cause, with a sea of pink shirts swallowing the bleachers and the fi eld every year. Pink Out Shirts, designed by our wonderful Key Club, will be sold during the week of the 18th in Cafe A. However, instead of collecting the profi ts, the Key Club will donate all of the revenue from t-shirt sales to four foundations: Th e Breathing Room, Asplundh Cancer Pavilion, Unite for Her, and Living Beyond Breast Cancer. Th e Breathing Room specializes in supporting and caring for local families aff ected by cancer, while Unite for Her is committed to help women diagnosed with ovarian or breast cancer through free therapy. Living Beyond Breast Cancer provides information and off ers either online or in-person programs to those aff ected by breast cancer, and the Asplundh Cancer Pavilion, associated with Jeff erson Health, is an advanced medical center that personalizes in caring for any type of cancer. From the various missions these foundations strive towards, it’s evident that a $10 shirt can go a long way. Th e game lasts from 7pm-9pm at the Schwarzman Stadium, and it is a fun yet rewarding way to spend a Friday night.
