Join Hudson Institute today at 9:00am EDT as we celebrate [[link removed]] the life of Max Singer, co-founder, second president, and longtime fellow of Hudson Institute, who passed away in January 2020 at the age of 88.

A panel of Singer’s close friends and esteemed colleagues will engage critically with central aspects of his thought, and his eldest son, Saul Singer, will offer a response.
