Welcome to the launch of a new speaker series centered around the Socialism and Free-Market Capitalism: Human Prosperity Project program at the Hoover Institution. This initiative objectively investigates the historical record to assess the consequences for human welfare, individual liberty, and interactions between nations of various economic systems ranging from pure socialism to free-market capitalism.
This online speaker series is based on scholarly research and commentary by Hoover fellows participating in the project on Socialism and Free-Market Capitalism. Each session will include thoughtful and informed analysis from our top scholars.
