Summer — or Back to School — Reading

The Cato Institute has published thousands of books, studies, articles, and op‐​eds, and most of them are on our website. But there’s lots of good reading material published elsewhere, and now our analysts are offering handy guides to the best reading in such fields as Principles of Liberty, Constitutional Studies, Health Care, Foreign Policy, and more.


I know that reading lists can sometimes be intimidating — where to start? — and too much of just a list. So these lists are annotated; each recommendation is briefly described. And at my insistence, (almost) all the analysts have started their lists with “Read This First” to suggest a foundational or introductory book or essay. Check them out here.
