Cato’s 25th Annual Monetary Conference will focus on money and freedom—in particular, the risks inherent in a government fiat money regime—and consider monetary and exchange-rate regimes that may emerge in the search for stable money. In addition to the dollar, yen, and euro, special attention will be placed on the future of the renminbi as China becomes the world’s largest economy.

The following issues will be discussed

  • Can the Fed make the dollar as good as gold?

  • Will the IMF’s new surveillance decision improve "external stability?"

  • Is a global currency feasible?

  • What is the future of the renminbi as a regional and global currency?
  • What monetary and exchange-rate institutions best protect individual freedom?

Please join our distinguished speakers on November 14 at the Cato Institute to discuss the future of the global monetary system and reforms that can better protect the property rights people have in a sound currency. Register by October 12 to ensure your place at this important event and to take advantage of the early registration fee.

Space is limited.
