Affordability has become one of the defining challenges facing American households and one of the most prominent issues confronting policymakers. Yet many of the solutions proposed in Washington focus on treating the symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes of rising costs.

Join Colin Grabow and Jai Kedia as they discuss the new Cato Institute Handbook on Affordability. Their conversation will explore how lasting affordability comes from greater economic freedom, not more government intervention. This event will give Hill staff, researchers, and policymakers a clear, data-driven foundation as Congress considers next steps.

Lunch will be provided.
