Scam or Opportunity? By HARRY KNIGHT ’21 News Editor Shultz ’38 A SMS alert buzzed its way onto my phone screen, distracting me from my fami- ly’s dinner table debate. “Hi Harry! My name is Hayden T. I work with Matt Tombaugh, and you got highly recommended to me for a position that I am looking to fill,” the text read. My eyes drifted down Hayden’s text, and caught the words “…entry level sales and service position.… speak with our customers and answer any questions they have….$20 base pay…” These enticing words sucked me away from din- ner. Attracted by the thought of making mon- ey over winter break, I wrote Hayden back, starting my interview process and subse- quently entering my position working for Photo by Luke Struthers ’21 Courtesy of Emily Khym ’23 Vector Marketing as a Cutco sales represen- Alejandro Rincón ’21, an ex-employ- tative.

  • Ending Government Bailouts As We Know Them
    ENDING GOVERNMENT BAILOUTS AS WE KNOW THEM A Policy Workshop Thursday, December 10, 2009 Stauffer Auditorium Hoover Institution PURPOSE Fear that failure of a large complex financial institution can cause severe damage to the economy has created a pervasive bailout mentality among policymakers in the United States. As a result the federal government has committed huge amounts of taxpayer dollars, intervened in a host of normally private‐sector activities, and induced excessive risk‐taking by people expecting the bailout policy to continue. Americans are understandably angry about a policy which rescues the people who take risks and fail at the expense of everyone else. But how can we reduce the bailouts? As George Shultz puts it, “If clear and credible measures can be put into place that convince everybody that failure will be allowed, then the bailouts, and the expectations of bailouts, will recede and perhaps even disappear.” The purpose of this workshop is to propose, present, and debate such measures. AGENDA Session I – Chair: John B. Taylor, Hoover Institution and Stanford University 8:30 AM–9:10 AM Opening Remarks George P. Shultz, Hoover Institution and Stanford University Paul Volcker, former chairman of the Federal Reserve Board (by video) 9:10 AM–10:00 AM Lessons Learned from the Lehman Bankruptcy and the Financial Crisis Kimberly Summe, Partner Fund Management, LP Gary Stern, former president, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis 10:00 AM–10:20 AM Break Session II – Chair: Kenneth Scott, Hoover Institution and Stanford Law School

  • George S. Vest, Long-Serving Foreign Service O Cer and Cold War
    Democracy Dies in Darkness George S. Vest, long-serving Foreign Service o�cer and Cold War diplomat, dies at 102 By Matt Schudel August 26, 2021 at 8:40 p.m. EDT George S. Vest, a long-serving U.S. diplomat who helped lay the groundwork for the Helsinki Accords with the Soviet Union in the 1970s and later was the State Department’s chief of recruiting and training, died Aug. 24 at his home in Bethesda, Md. He was 102. A family spokesman, Alexander Platt, said the cause was circulatory ailments. Mr. Vest was a World War II combat veteran who developed an interest in international relations while serving in Italy. He joined the Foreign Service in 1947, when retired Army Gen. George C. Marshall, the architect of the Marshall Plan that spurred postwar recovery in Europe, was secretary of state. After an early posting to Ecuador, Mr. Vest thought he would become a specialist in Latin American affairs. But an unexpected assignment to Paris in 1959 as a political adviser to U.S. Air Force Gen. Lauris Norstad, then the supreme allied commander in Europe, led Mr. Vest to focus on Cold War diplomacy. “I had the chance to be the consul in Florence,” he told the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times in 1988, “which would have meant an apartment, a car, a chauffeur, the wonderful life in Italy, and I turned it down to be the No. 2 to the political adviser to Gen. Norstad, which was a very low-down job. But it was a chance to learn about all that was going on and being built in terms of NATO and our cooperation with the European countries.

  • Feb 16, 2021 STANFORD George Shultz, Who Died This Month at Age
    2/16/2021 The Economic Wisdom of George Shultz by Michael J. Boskin - Project Syndicate Feb 16, 2021 | MICHAEL J. BOSKIN STANFORD – George Shultz, who died this month at age 100, is best known for being US President Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of State. Their close working relationship enabled them to limit nuclear weapons, help end the Cold War, and champion human rights. Words like “great” and “extraordinary” have been so debased nowadays that they sound out of place even when they are truly deserved. In fact, words may fail to convey the depth, breadth, and enduring impact Shultz had on the world, and on economic policy in particular. While melding, as he put it, ideas into action, he never lost his grace, humility, and integrity. I had the privilege of working closely with him for five decades on a wide array of public policy issues, when we were each in and out of government and at the Hoover Institution. He became a cherished colleague, mentor, and role model to me and many others. And he was a close friend: I was a pallbearer at his first wife’s funeral, and he saw my wife through my life-threatening emergency surgery. George thought strategically, with a view to the long term, which he attributed to his training as an economist. Be a compass, not a weather vane was his modus operandi. In four cabinet positions and a lifetime of advising American political leaders at the federal and state level, he profoundly affected policies on labor strikes and racial inequities; budgets, debt management, and tax reform; trade and exchange rates; regulation; money and interest rates; entitlements and education; and drugs and the environment.

  • George Shultz, Nuclear Statecraft and the Vision for a World Free of Nuclear Weapons1 Stephan Kieninger
    George Shultz, Nuclear Statecraft and the Vision for a World Free of Nuclear Weapons1 Stephan Kieninger Summary As Secretary of State, George Shultz worked hard to help protect Ronald Reagan’s and Mikhail Gorbachev’s shared goal of a world free of nuclear weapons. This article looks into Shultz’s contribution to Reagan’s groundbreaking arms control diplomacy and its pivotal role for the peaceful end of the Cold War highlighting the contemporary significance of Reagan’s and Shultz’s vision at a time when the global challenge is to build from scratch a new arms control architecture for the 21th century, something that will need strength, patient statecraft and the long-term management of adversarial relations with Russia and China. The article sheds new light on the complexities of Ronald Reagan’s approach: On the one hand, Reagan wanted America’s victory in the battle with the Soviet Union. At the same time, he wanted to abolish nuclear weapons, and reducing nuclear weapons required patient statecraft and the relaunch of U.S.-Soviet cooperation. Ronald Reagan and George Shultz managed to weave these aims together combining strength and diplomacy in new ways in an effort to advance freedom and promote democracy. About the Author Stephan Kieninger is an independent historian and the author of two books on the history of détente and Euro-Atlantic security: The Diplomacy of Détente. Cooperative Security Policies from Helmut Schmidt to George Shultz (2018) and Dynamic Détente. The United States and Europe, 1964– 1975 (2016). He received his PhD from Mannheim University. Formerly, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins SAIS, a fellow at the Berlin Center for Cold War Studies, and a senior researcher at the Federal German Archives.
