Episode Government Reform Before DOGE: NPRG and the Hoover Commission
Every generation of leaders inherits a government that feels too slow, too wasteful, or too tangled in its own rules. From the Hoover Commissions of the 1940s and 50s to Al Gore’s forklift full of regulations in the 1990s, the push to make government more efficient is nothing new, but lasting change is incredibly hard. Some efforts left real, durable reforms behind. Others made a lot of noise and left government worse off. Max Stier, founding president and CEO of the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service, has studied what makes federal agencies work for over 25 years. He helps us unpack what “efficiency” really means, what separates durable reform from performative reform, and what actually moves the needle.
