  • 35th Annual Monetary Conference - Panel 1: Toward a Rules-based International Monetary System
    After more than nine years of unconventional monetary policy, it’s time to question the Fed’s strategy and offer new ideas for the future of monetary policy. At Cato’s 35th Annual Monetary Conference, leading scholars, policymakers, and journalists will examine the case for a rules-based international monetary system, consider steps to normalize monetary policy, debate the future of currency, and explore China’s future in the global monetary system.

  • The Challenge of Populism
    Populism has become the main threat to liberty and liberal democracy around the world. Its appeal to nationalism and xenophobia afflicts rich and poor countries alike, and it builds its false promises on policies that ultimately aggravate social and economic problems. Mario Vargas Llosa will present a new book on populism (El estallido del populismo) and address its main themes, especially as they relate to Europe and the Americas. A discussion with Alvaro Vargas Llosa, editor of the book, and Gabriela Calderón de Burgos, contributor, will follow.

  • Liberating Telemedicine

    One of the most promising areas of medical innovation is the expansion of telemedicine, where medical professionals treat patients across great distances using electronic communications. A significant barrier to the widespread use of telemedicine is the requirement that physicians obtain licenses from each state in which their current or potential patients are, or may be, located.

    To overcome this and to liberate this exciting development in health-care delivery, there are principally four reforms lawmakers could adopt: the first is to eliminate government licensing of medical professionals altogether. The second is to redefine the location of the interaction between patient and physician from that of the patient to that of the physician. A third option is for individual states to open their markets to physicians licensed in other states, or to join other states in reciprocal agreements to honor each other’s licenses. Finally, the federal government could offer national telemedicine licenses.

    Join our panel of experts who will discuss the options; weigh their comparative strengths and weaknesses; and moreover, underscore the promise of telemedicine to health care, the economy, and beyond.

  • The Cato Institute Sponsor e-Briefing: How to Reform the Criminal Justice System
    Is America's criminal justice system broken? If so, what are the best methods for reforming it?Though we have the highest incarceration rate of any major country, it is far from clear that Americans are the world's most criminal people. Instead, it may well be that we have done something with our criminal justice system that Americans have always excelled at, which is to take a complex process—in this case transforming people from presumptively innocent citizens to convicts—and made it very cheap and very efficient. But have we done so at the expense of our stated constitutional commitments?An array of policies and practices, from civil forfeiture, to coercive plea bargaining, to near-zero accountability for law enforcement, suggest that the answer may well be yes. In recent years, support for reform was building across the political and ideological spectrum, which included President Obama. But the first months of the Trump administration have confirmed that criminal justice will remain a contentious issue. Does an appetite for reform still exist in the current environment?Clark Neily, vice president for criminal justice, joined Cato in June to lead the Institute's efforts in this area. He will join us to examine these issues and describe his strategy for driving positive change in the criminal justice system. Your questions and thoughts will drive the conversation, and Clark looks forward to a thought-provoking discussion.
