The Cato Institute

The Cato Institute is a think tank based in Washington, D.C., focused on promoting individual liberty, free markets, and limited government. Founded in 1974, it conducts research and advocates for policy changes in areas like economics, civil liberties, and foreign policy. Cato emphasizes the importance of personal freedom and responsibility, believing that government should intervene as little as possible in people's lives. The organization publishes studies, opinion pieces, and hosts events to influence public policy and promote its libertarian philosophy. Its work contributes to debates around economic and social issues in the United States and beyond.
