As [his column today reveals](http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/29/opinion/29brooks.html?hp), even the *New York Times*’s David Brooks is reading this month’s discussion at *Cato Unbound* on the future of libertarianism.

Today is the last day of the discussion, so don’t miss out! In today’s edition, Cato’s Brink Lindsey discusses “[Post-Apocalyptic Libertarianism](http://www.cato-unbound.org/2007/03/29/brink-lindsey/post-apocalyptic-libertarianism/)” and Virginia Postrel talks about “[The Libertarian Cultural Tradition](https://www.cato.org/dailypodcast/virginiapostrel_thelibertarianculturaltradition_20070329.mp3)” \[.mp3\] in the Cato Daily Podcast. Don’t miss Postrel’s thoughts yesterday on “[What Was Wrong with Socialism?](http://www.cato-unbound.org/2007/03/28/virginia-postrel/what-was-wrong-with-socialism/)” and “[Principles, the Welfare State, and Libertarian Cultural Traditions](http://www.cato-unbound.org/2007/03/28/virginia-postrel/principles-the-welfare-state-and-libertarian-cultural-traditions/),” or Tyler Cowen’s pithy “[Quick Hits](http://www.cato-unbound.org/2007/03/27/tyler-cowen/quick-hits/)” from Tuesday. Tom Palmer promises to chime in before the clock runs out, so don’t stop hitting refresh.

In April, *Cato Unbound* will tackle the science, culture, and politics of happiness with a mostly stellar lineup featuring historian Darrin McMahon, author of the *Happiness: A History;* psychologist Barry Schwartz, author of *The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less*; sociologist Ruut Veenhoven, editor of the *Journal of Happiness Studies;* and, well… me, author of a soon-to-be-released Cato Policy Analysis on the reliability and policy implications of the new “happiness research.”
