Founded in 1977, Cato owes its name to <i>Cato&rsquo;s Letters</i>, a series of essays published in 18th-century England that presented a vision of a society free from excessive government power. Those essays inspired the architects of the American Revolution. And the simple, timeless principles of that revolution &mdash; individual liberty, limited government, and free markets &ndash; turn out to be even more powerful in today&rsquo;s world of global markets and unprecedented access to information than Jefferson or Madison could have imagined. Social and economic freedom is not just the best policy for a free people, it is the indispensable framework for the future.</p><p>
