Uncommon card · No. 180219

Hudson Institute is an American neoconservative think tank based in Washington, D.C. It was founded in 1961 in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, by futurist Herman Kahn and his colleagues Max Singer and Oscar M. Ruebhausen at the RAND Corporation. The institute's research branched out from the military into various areas including economics, health, education, and gambling. The institute moved to Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1984; 20 years later, in 2004, Hudson relocated to Washington, D.C.. It has worked with governments, including those of the United States, Japan, Taiwan, and Israel, and with private-sector donors and industries including defense contractors and agribusiness firms such as Monsanto. It is also the parent organization of the Discovery Institute, a Seattle-based think tank that advocates the pseudoscientific notion of intelligent design (ID).
