Re: Cato's been mucking around since the '60s at least
I recall the mention by-name in "mid-70s" in connection with the Admin war on anti-Viet matters and presumed they were not a new creature. Now I wonder if 'Cato' was a re-use of a previous group's logo -not an- 'institute'..?
So much for recollections and time-lines.
If calling self 'libertarian' implicitly condones privatization of Soc Sec ... at any rate, this list, commenting on their 25 year anthology
This book, published in conjunction with Cato's 25th Anniversary, is a must-have collection of the best articles published by Cato over the past 25 years. It includes such luminaries as Milton Friedman, Peter Bauer, William A. Niskanen, Julian Simon, Carolyn Weaver, George Gilder, Karl Popper, Justice Antonin Scalia, Richard Epstein, Vaclav Klaus, Alan Greenspan, Paul Craig Roberts, Charlotte Twight, Rep. Dick Armey, and P.J. O'Rourke.
These articles span a variety of important issues, including the fall of communism and apartheid, globalization, school choice, Social Security privatization, technology and the new economy, and personal freedom. They show the power of ideas to change the world around us -- especially the idea of liberty. More and more countries around the world are opting for free trade and free markets, and the Cato Institute has played an important part in popularizing those policies to a worldwide audience. This is definitely a collection to treasure by all those who love liberty.
..appears to reflect the spread: when you can find Karl Popper.. Scalia!! Dick Armey! and PJ O'Rourke [
