Hudson Institute 50th Anniversary Video Tribute

When the nuclear strategist and futurist Herman Kahn, with Max Singer and Oscar Ruebhausen, founded Hudson Institute in 1961, they had a grand and powerful vision for the burgeoning think tank. In the short term, Kahn hoped that the Institute would help "to raise the level of debate" over critical issues affecting national security and international order.

Under Kahn's leadership, Hudson Institute became a research organization of national and global significance. Hudson emerged as a think tank that would tackle policy problems of the present while looking over the horizon for gathering storms and possible solutions.

Herman Kahn's wisdom has guided Hudson for fifty years. We remain dedicated to Kahn's vision, which questions the conventional wisdom and focuses on the longer term through careful and comprehensive analyses.

To commemorate this historic anniversary in 2011, Hudson Institute is holding monthly future-oriented seminars on the important issues of the day as well as special fiftieth-anniversary gala dinners in New York and Washington. These and other programs will help us launch the next half century of Hudson research promoting security, prosperity, and freedom.

Great Video, good job, but I seriously, I mean seriously feel you are slowly being infiltrated by academic socialist thinkers, and that many of the high-level revolving door bureaucrats coming in have problematic fundamentally flawed thinking. Rather than standing on your past - ditch the legacy and focus on the future. I realize this critique is harsh, but at some point a reality check is needed for everyone - impress me, don't tell me - show me. Seriously, think on it.
