Celebrating the 100th Birthday of George P. Shultz
Today marks the 100th birthday of the legendary George P. Shultz, one of the greatest statesmen and leaders in US history.
Shultz is one of only two Americans to have served in four different US cabinet posts. This includes his service as Secretary of State to President Reagan and pivotal role in helping to end the Cold War. Shultz is also a PhD economist, businessman, and US Marine.
Shultz is also one of the original co-authors and a namesake of the Baker-Shultz Carbon Dividends Plan. His clear-eyed leadership on free-market climate solutions is a continued inspiration to us all.
On account of his centennial celebration, the Hoover Institution hosted a special tribute to his remarkable carer. The event featured an amazing line-up of speakers, including George W. Bush, Jim Mattis, Hank Paulson, James A. Baker III, Condoleezza Rice, Senator Rob Portman, and many more.
Below are quotes, lightly edited, from the event and photo highlights from Shultz’s exceptional career.
