The Cato Institute’s special [online forum](https://www.cato.org/conference-forum/reviving-economic-growth) on reviving growth (see [here](https://www.cato.org/blog/reviving-growth-cato-online-forum) for more details) continues today with the following four essays:

1. [Dean Baker](https://www.cato.org/publications/cato-online-forum/doctors-drugs-promoting-growth-equality-through-free-trade) argues for free trade in doctors and drugs — by eliminating immigration restrictions and patent protection.

2. [Jim Manzi](https://www.cato.org/publications/conference-paper/high-skill-immigration-visionary-investments) also calls for more high-skill immigration, as well as visionary investments in scientific research and technology projects.

3. [Jonathan Rauch](https://www.cato.org/publications/conference-paper/apprenticeships-lots-them) proposes a national apprenticeship system.

4. [Philip K. Howard](https://www.cato.org/publications/cato-online-forum/radically-simplify-law) makes the case for radical simplification of law.
