Founding to 1982

'', a book-length expansion of Kahn's lecture notes. Major controversies ensued, and in the end, Kahn and RAND had a parting of ways. Kahn moved to Croton-on-Hudson, New York, intending to establish a new think tank, less hierarchical and bureaucratic in its organization. Along with Max Singer, a young government lawyer who had been a RAND colleague of Kahn's, and New York attorney Oscar Ruebhausen, Kahn founded the Hudson Institute on 20 July 1961. Kahn was Hudson's driving intellect and Singer developed the institute's organization. Ruebhausen was an advisor to

Kahn and his colleagues made pioneering contributions to nuclear deterrence theory and strategy during this period. Hudson's detailed analyses of "ladders of escalation" and reports on the likely consequences of limited and unlimited nuclear exchanges, eventually published as ''Thinking About the Unthinkable'' in 1962 and ''On Escalation: Metaphors and Scenarios'' in 1965, were influential within the Kennedy administration, and helped the institute win its first major research contract from the

Another employee at the think tank, Michael Fumento, was revealed to have received funding from Monsanto for his 1999 book ''Bio-Evolution.'' Monsanto's spokesman said: "It's our practice, that if we're dealing with an organization like this, that any funds we're giving should be unrestricted." Hudson's CEO and President Kenneth R. Weinstein told ''BusinessWeek'' that he was uncertain if the payment should have been disclosed. "That's a good question, period," he said. ''The New York Times'' accused Huntington Ingalls Industries of using the Hudson Institute to enhance the company's argument for more nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, at a cost of US$11 billion each. The Times alleged that a former naval officer was paid by Hudson to publish an analysis calling for more funding. The report was delivered to the House Armed Services subcommittee without disclosing that Huntington Ingalls had paid for part of the report. Hudson acknowledged the misconduct, describing it as a "mistake". The institute, which publishes frequent reports on China, has received funding from the Taiwanese government. Critics note that although the funding is declared in its financial returns "none of their researchers disclose the potential conflict of interest between Taiwanese funding and advocating for more U.S. security guarantees for and trade with Taiwan." The institute is described by its critics as " neoconservative". The institute has also received funding from the Pentagon. The group has recently pushed for “lead-ahead advancements like stealth aircraft” to compete with China and a greater focus on cyber warfare capabilities. The group received a $356,263 contract directly from the Pentagon this year to produce a “final report/brief” on aircraft defense. In 2020, it was paid nearly half a million dollars to produce reports and workshops on behalf of the Defense Department. Political donations Employees at the Hudson Institute have made substantial donations to Republican candidates and PACs. In the 2020 election cycle, they donated $151,000 to Republican candidates.
