GoodFellows: Conversations from the Hoover Institution

Recorded October 19, 2021 interview with John H. Cochrane, H. R. McMaster, Bill Whalen, Caroline M. Hoxby

The late Colin Powell’s story is one of an immigrant’s son who rose to prominence based on a quality public-school education and enrollment in college ROTC. Hoover senior fellows H. R. McMaster, John Cochrane, and guest Caroline Hoxby discuss whether today’s generation stands to benefit the same as Powell’s, what role teachers play, how elite universities can better connect to lower-income students, plus COVID’s effect on the workplace in terms of remote work and concentrated workforces.
