- dragonwriter 9y agoThe RAND Corp is a military long-range planning project that got separated from Douglas Aircraft to avoid conflict of interest that would jeopardise Douglas’s eligibility for contracts, and then took on a life of its own. It still does a lot of federal work ubder governments of both parties, and's kind of important to that that it's not seen either as an shill for a particular ideology or a shill for particular corporate interests. That is, while advancing particular viewpoints is the purpose of some think tanks and the financial interests of others, it's neither for RAND.
