##### News Notes 

#### Jordan Peterson Promotes Marian Tupy’s Lecture Series on Joe Rogan’s Podcast 

Marian L. Tupy and Gale L. Pooley’s nine-part lecture series, “The Economics of Human Flourishing,” debuted on the Peterson Academy website. The series brings their optimism for humanity’s future to a new audience, featuring the type of economic analysis and stories of innovation that have made books such as Tupy and Pooley’s Superabundance so popular. Jordan Peterson highlighted this course on the *Joe Rogan Experience* podcast, which has more than 32 million subscribers.

#### Cato Releases In-Depth Issue Polls Pre-Election 

Emily Ekins, vice president and director of polling at the Cato Institute, released three polls between July 4 and Election Day. Politico, the Miami Herald, and MSNBC cited her foreign policy survey of swing state voters, which found that majorities worried we were approaching a third world war. Her trade policy survey, which was cited in the *New York Times*, found that Republicans and Democrats support hypothetical tariffs imposed by their own party but don’t support tariffs if they are implemented by the other party.

#### Chase Oliver, Sen. Rand Paul Cite Cato’s Influence on Their Views 

Chase Oliver, the Libertarian Party presidential candidate, called David Boaz’s *The Libertarian Mind* “the best primer to the libertarian philosophy” in a recent interview: “It’s one of the best communicators of the libertarian framework and values, which deeply influence how I approach politics.” Sen. Rand Paul (R‑KY) told Bari Weiss on her podcast *Honestly* that he is “a big fan of Human​Progress​.org, this is an offshoot of Cato,” when discussing the unleashed markets that deliver modern abundance.
