Condoleezza Rice on Crisis Leadership and Geopolitics Today
Today, Condoleezza Rice shares leadership lessons from her time in government as well as her perspective on Russia, China, and the future of the international system; defense entrepreneur Palmer Luckey joins Peter Robinson on Uncommon Knowledge<\/em> to discuss transformations underway in US military procurement; and John Cochrane lays out some of the policy challenges and opportunities Kevin Warsh will encounter when he\u2019s sworn in to lead the Federal Reserve.
Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice joined the Icons and Ideas <\/em>podcast for a wide-ranging discussion of her childhood experiences, career development, service in national leadership, and outlook on geopolitical developments today. Speaking with host Peter Mallouk, Rice shares stories from her time as a young Soviet analyst as well as reflections on some of the most consequential decisions she helped to make during her time as national security advisor and secretary of state. Rice and Mallouk also discuss the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine and the economic and political conditions that have fueled populist movements around the world. Throughout, Rice offers practical insights into leadership and diplomacy during periods of crisis and global transformation. Watch here<\/a>.
In the face of growing military threats from China, can the US technology sector help rebuild US military power? How will artificial intelligence transform warfare? On the latest episode of Uncommon Knowledge<\/em>, Anduril Industries founder Palmer Luckey joins Peter Robinson to argue that America must rethink everything from defense procurement to manufacturing, innovation, and national identity itself. Luckey explains why he founded Anduril after selling Oculus to Facebook; why he believes the US has become dangerously dependent on China; and how autonomous weapons, AI fighter jets, and drone warfare are reshaping the future battlefield. Luckey also takes aim at Pentagon bureaucracy and America\u2019s hollowed-out industrial base, as well as what he calls the \u201cnational divorce\u201d between Silicon Valley and national security. Tune in for a provocative discussion of patriotism, innovation, deterrence, and whether the United States still has what it takes to defend itself in a rapidly changing world.\u00a0Watch or listen here<\/a>.
Writing at The Washington Post<\/em> opinion page, Senior Fellow John H. Cochrane analyzes the complex economic and institutional situation that incoming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will face once he takes the helm at the US central bank. Cochrane explains why he wants to see a humbler Fed, cognizant of \u201cthe fog in which it is trying to steer the ship.\u201d Cochrane also says Congress and Fed leaders need to think about the mounting pressures on US monetary policymakers to acquiesce to persistent large federal deficits and a growing national debt, before the next crisis demanding emergency spending comes along. As the economist notes, on the current trajectory, \u201cbond investors will be skittish, having suffered a substantial loss due to inflation last time they lent to the US, and with still no plan for the government to start repaying debts.\u201d Read more here<\/a>.
\u201cWhat happened to the Declaration of Independence remains the last great mystery of the Civil War,\u201d Distinguished Research Fellow Michael Auslin writes at Hoover\u2019s Military History in the News column. For two decades prior to the outbreak of that conflict, America\u2019s founding document had been displayed in the National Museum within what was then the Patent Office. But with the war came an immediate threat to Washington, DC, and to the Declaration from nearby Confederate forces. \u201cHad the Confederates captured the Declaration and brought it to their capital in Richmond, it would have been a massive blow to Northern morale,\u201d Auslin writes. \u201cIt only made sense for Lincoln and his Secretary of State William Seward to order the Declaration moved to the one place that seemed the safest, but to do so secretly, leaving no official record.\u201d Read more here<\/a>.
In this timely episode of Economics, Applied<\/em>, Senior Fellow Steven J. Davis speaks with two noted experts on trade policy about the sources and consequences of vulnerability in global supply chains. Cross-border supply chains bring great efficiencies but also present soft spots that adversaries can exploit. How should we think about these vulnerabilities and their implications for economic and national security? How can we identify, assess, and respond to these vulnerabilities? Guests Chad Bown and Soumaya Keynes, both active analysts of international trade, discuss issues including the challenge of tracing inputs to complex supply chains, and how private actors are offering solutions to fill such data gaps. Watch or listen here<\/a>.
