Scott S. Powell

Scott Powell has worked in the corporate, academic, and research worlds. He has taught at two universities, served on two corporate boards, and been an entrepreneur—founding two companies. He has been Senior Fellow at the  Discovery Institute since 2012, after a six-year affiliation with Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. He has written three books and over 350 published articles in the Wall Street Journal, Investor’s Business Daily, Newsmax, The Federalist ,USA Today, Barron’s Financial, New York Post, Chicago Tribune, The Houston Chronicle, and some 50 other newspapers and journals in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. He delivered the valedictory address at his graduation from the University of Chicago with honors (B.A. and M.A.) and received his Ph.D. in economics from Boston University.

Scott’s latest book, Rediscovering America, was a No. 1 best selling new release on Amazon in the history genre for eight straight weeks.  Being a timeless book that reveals how and why the United States has been entirely unique and different from every other nation in human history, it also explains how to reverse the decline of America. Dennis Prager calls it “a powerful, inspiring and concise book, reaffirming what you always knew—that America is an exceptional nation.”

Scott’s first book, Covert Cadre, documented the people and organizations engaged in leading the political and cultural changes sweeping through America decades ago that would transform and undermine America; it was hailed by National Review as one of the most important books of the 1988 election year. Scott has been called on to provide expert witness analysis and testimony for the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. He has also taught international economics at the graduate school level and has made appearances on some 400 radio and television shows throughout the U.S."
