GoodFellows: Conversations on Economics, History & Geopolitics

单集简介 ...

Is the bitter war in Ukraine soon to wind down now that a peace settlement is being negotiated (think a Panmunjom-style compromise, not Munich-style appeasement), and how should America prepare for economic and military parity with China? In an episode devoted solely to viewers’ questions, Hoover senior fellows Sir Niall Ferguson, John Cochrane and H.R. McMaster delve into matters ranging from those somber (allaying twenty-somethings’ climate alarmism, “ideal” interest rates, the future of tank warfare as well as AI’s redesign of future workforces) to those more lighthearted (H.R.’s service nickname, the artist behind John’s wall hangings, and how the fellows would ride out a future pandemic). Finally, on the eve of America’s Thanksgiving holiday, the fellows count their blessings – especially “Papa” Ferguson, who recently joined John (aka, “Blah-Blah” to his grandchildren) and H.R. (likewise, his grandkids’ “Papa”) as a first-time grandfather. Subscribe to GoodFellows for clarity on today’s biggest social, economic, and geostrategic shifts — only on GoodFellows.

  • you It's Tuesday, November 25, 2025, and welcome back to Goodfellows,

  • a Hoover Institution broadcast examining matters of history and current events,

  • economics, and geopolitics.

  • I'm Bill Whalen.

  • I'm a distinguished policy fellow here at the Hoover Institution.

  • I'll be your moderator today, joined by our full fleet,

  • our full complement of Goodfellows, as we jokingly refer to them.

  • And I am referring, of course, to the historian, Sir Neil Ferguson,

  • the economist, John Cochran,

  • and former presidential national security advisor, Lieutenant General H.R.

  • McMaster.

  • Good to see you guys.

  • So, fellows, today we're going to answer viewer mails.

  • We've been badgering our listeners for weeks now to send in questions,

  • and I want to thank everybody who bothered to do so.

  • It's a reminder of the scope of this show.

  • We receive questions from no less than six continents in numerous countries.

  • Smart questions I would add.

  • And if your question did not get answered this round, I apologize,

  • simply too many to get to in this limited amount of time.
