January 03, 2023 Culture Wars in Education: What Can Be Done to Bring Peace?
Public schooling has always been a site of social conflict, with diverse people forced to contend with each other to determine what the schools for which they all must pay will teach. But something seems to have changed in the past few years, with battles feeling more heated than ever before.
In this forum, historian Jonathan Zimmerman will discuss the newly revised, 20th anniversary edition of his book Whose America: Culture Wars in the Public Schools, which dives into both historical conflicts and our present‐day battles and contemplates how to find common ground. He will be joined by Cato Center for Educational

Freedom Director Neal McCluskey, whose own new book, The Fractured Schoolhouse: Reexamining Education for a Free, Equal, and Harmonious Society, contemplates much of the conflict Zimmerman has chronicled and suggests that educational choice offers the best hope for peace and unity.

December 14, 2022 Performance Review: Evaluating the CDC in the Wake of the COVID Pandemic
Rochelle Walensky, Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said, “For 75 years, CDC and public health have been preparing for COVID-19, and in our big moment, our performance did not reliably meet expectations.” She announced plans to “reset” the agency by restructuring its communications team, changing its organizational structure, and emphasizing applied rather than academic scientific research.

Where did the CDC fail, and where did it succeed in responding to the COVID pandemic? Did the agency’s leadership suffer from politicization and groupthink? Is the Director’s proposed “reset” enough of a reform? Are there other systematic agency failures that reformers should remedy? Joining us to discuss these and other questions are Martin A. Makary, MD, MPH, Professor of Surgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Professor of Health Policy and Management at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health; Ari N. Schulman, editor of The New Atlantis, and The New Atlantis Books; and Ronald A. Bailey, science correspondent for Reason Magazine and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute. The discussion will be moderated by Cato Institute senior fellow Jeffrey A. Singer, MD.

December 14, 2022 How Much Does China Really Spend on Defense?
In recent decades, estimates of Chinese defense spending have varied wildly. Recognizing that market exchange rates cannot provide the best picture of Chinese defense spending on their own, analysts began using a blend of purchasing power parity and market exchange rates to represent Chinese military expenditures. With no agreed‐on methodology, however, estimates have ranged from roughly $250 billion to near $600 billion. Since the Defense Department has identified China as the “pacing challenge” for the United States, the size and shape of China’s military has significant implications for the U.S. defense budget, U.S.-Chinese relations, and the future of security in Asia. Please join our panel for a wide‐ranging discussion of how best to represent China’s growing military power.
