Cato Launches $50 Million Capital Campaign
The Cato Institute is now launching its most ambitious capital campaign to date, "Liberating the Future." This far-reaching initiative includes the construction of an expanded headquarters and new facilities, additional scholars focusing on current and emerging policy areas, and providing greater public access to Cato's resources. "Liberating the Future" will make Cato an even more effective institution for providing clear and sensible policy perspectives and for advancing the principles of limited government.

How Do You Solve a Problem Like Korea?
The U.S. and South Korea on Wednesday concluded four days of military exercises in the Sea of Japan, marking the latest in a series of confrontations in the region. And while North Korea has indicated interest in returning to six-party talks on its nuclear program, hope for a diplomatic resolution might be fading.

The Cult of the Presidency
Read the free e-book version of this timely classic, which can also be downloaded to e-reading devices. It shows how Americans have increasingly expanded presidential power over recent decades by expecting the president to provide solutions for all national problems. The book demonstrates how the president's role needs to return to its properly defined constitutional limits, with its powers held in check by Congress and the courts.
NEW BOOKS
The Struggle to Limit Government
This book assesses the highs and lows of the nearly 30-year struggle to limit government—Reagan's successes and failures, the drift away from Reagan's legacy, and George W. Bush's rejection of limited government—and concludes that the last elections were a repudiation of the failed Bush presidency, not limited government.
Terrorizing Ourselves
Explores disciplined approaches to terrorism and dismantles the flawed thinking that dominates today's national security policy, exposing how politicians manipulate fear for political purposes and anxiety about terrorism is driving military adventurism, exploding the national debt, militarizing domestic affairs, and shifting expenditures away from other urgent priorities.
