{"value"=>"<p>The Economic Club of New York was founded in 1907 by the secretary of the National Economic League of Boston, J.W. Beatson, along with four New York City business leaders. Taking inspiration from established New England-based economic clubs in Boston, New Haven, Providence, Portland, and Springfield, the New York club was established with the objective of hosting business professionals to discuss economic, social, and political issues in an impartial forum. Members hail from senior leadership of the business and financial communities, and represent a wide array of ideologies and diversity of opinions.</p> <p>The primary activities of the club are the dinners and luncheons it hosts in which a prestigious guest of honor is invited to speak to club members and their invited associates. Each event features a speech followed by a discussion period when club members, who have been selected prior to the event, ask questions of the speaker. Although events are not open to the public, they are accessible to members of the news media to cover the speech and ensuing conversation.</p> <p>Since its inception, the club has hosted over one thousand leaders from financial, legal, political, and news media sectors, including international heads of state, central bankers, Supreme Court Justices, military leaders, ambassadors, scientists, global business entrepreneurs, labor leaders, corporate executives, and university presidents. The club has hosted a number of former United States presidents including Woodrow Wilson, William H. Taft, Herbert Hoover, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush; international leaders such as Winston Churchill, Mikhail Gorbachev, Indira Gandhi, Margaret Thatcher, Yitzhak Rabin, Corazon Aquino, and Zhu Rongji; and United States politicians such as Lloyd Bentsen, Dick Cheney, Bill Bradley, Mario Cuomo, Bob Dole, Newt Gingrich, Rudolph Giuliani, Barry Goldwater, Robert Kennedy, Edward Koch, Fiorello La Guardia, John McCain, Water Mondale, Dan Quayle, Charles Rangel, and Christine Todd Whitman.</p>"}
