A Cato Policy forum featuring **Daniel Shapiro**, West Virginia University, **Charles Murray**, American Enterprise Institute, **Kenneth Tollett**, Howard University, and **Amitai Etzioni**, George Washington University. The ultimate question in the debate over Social Security privatization is a moral and philosophical one. Privatization would not be justifiable if it were economically beneficial but morally suspect. A panel of leading philosophers and social scientists will debate the moral implications of Social Security reform, including issues of fairness, liberty, community, and justice.
