去)2020)年12月舒茲歡度百歲生日，華盛頓郵報刊登了他寫的 “ 信任是領域的硬幣 （Trust was the coin of the realm ）”一文，回顧他一個世紀以來的人生經驗：“ 當信任在房間裡時，無論是在家庭、學校、教練室、辦公室、政府與軍事場所，好事就會發生。當信任不在房裡時，好事不會發生，其餘的都是細節。”他舉了自小到大的10個事例，說明信任對他為人處事帶來的影響。其中第7、8兩例與外交事務有關，摘述如下：同理心是建立信任的基礎1973年我擔任財政部長，與蘇聯外貿部長 Nikoloi Patolichov 在列寧格勒一起出席紀念二戰英靈的獻花儀式，我們相偕而行，一向艱忍剛毅的 P 部長，在描述死於列寧格勒戰役的士兵人數時，突然老淚縱橫，連他的傳譯也哽咽啜泣。當我們要離去時，我告訴 P部長，“ 我也參加過二戰，也有同袍在我身旁死去 ”，望向墓園，我說 “ 畢竟，這些都是抵抗希特勒的軍人 ”，面朝墓地，我以陸戰隊的行禮方式致意，P部長對此特別申謝。後來，令我感到意外的是，我因為此行而受到蘇聯領導階層的信任。另一例發生在國務卿任內：“ 身為國務卿，有天我呈送一份總統外交政策演說的講稿給白宮核閱，雷根總統看過後，在頁邊空白處寫下 “ story ”, 我不解其意，請示總統是何意思？他說 “ 那是最重要之處，加一段相關的故事，與聽眾交流。如此一來，你不只是說之以理，也動之以情。他讓我知道說故事，讓你想表達的東西不再抽象。一個故事，可以成為情感的扭帶，情感能建立信任。”Owen Hsieh

美國前國務卿喬治·舒爾茨去世，享年100歲。舒爾茨曾在尼克松政府任職勞工部長、財長和預算辦公室主任，並在裡根執政期間擔任國務卿，對美國政壇具有深遠影響。
George Pratt Shultz (/ʃʊlts/; December 13, 1920 – February 6, 2021) was an American economist, statesman, and businessman. He served in various positions under three different Republican presidents and is one of only two people to have held four different Cabinet-level posts.[1] Shultz played a major role in shaping the foreign policy of the Ronald Reagan administration. From 1974 to 1982, he was an executive of the Bechtel Group, an engineering and services company. In the 2010s, Shultz was a prominent figure in the scandal of the biotech firm Theranos, continuing to support it as a board member in the face of mounting evidence of fraud.
Born in New York City, he graduated from Princeton University before serving in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. After the war, Shultz earned a Ph.D. in industrial economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He taught at MIT from 1948 to 1957, taking a leave of absence in 1955 to take a position on President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Council of Economic Advisers. After serving as dean of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, he accepted President Richard Nixon's appointment as United States Secretary of Labor. In that position, he imposed the Philadelphia Plan on construction contractors who refused to accept black members, marking the first use of racial quotas by the federal government. In 1970, he became the first director of the Office of Management and Budget, and he served in that position until his appointment as United States Secretary of the Treasury in 1972. In that role, Shultz supported the Nixon shock (which sought to revive the ailing economy in part by abolishing the gold standard) and presided over the end of the Bretton Woods system.
Shultz left the Nixon administration in 1974 to become an executive at Bechtel. After becoming president and director of that company, he accepted President Ronald Reagan's offer to serve as United States Secretary of State. He held that office from 1982 to 1989. Shultz pushed for Reagan to establish relations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, which led to a thaw between the United States and the Soviet Union. He opposed the U.S. aid to rebels trying to overthrow the Sandinistas using funds from an illegal sale of weapons to Iran that led to the Iran–Contra affair.
Shultz retired from public office in 1989 but remained active in business and politics. He served as an informal adviser to George W. Bush and helped formulate the Bush Doctrine of preemptive war. He served on the Global Commission on Drug Policy, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Economic Recovery Council, and on the boards of Bechtel and the Charles Schwab Corporation.
Beginning in 2013, Shultz advocated for a revenue-neutral carbon tax as the most economically sound means of mitigating anthropogenic climate change.[2][3][4][5][6] He was a member of the Hoover Institution, the Institute for International Economics, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, and other groups.
