    Tribalism is Dumb: Where It Came from, How It Got so Bad, and What to Do About It
    It’s become easier to hate those with whom we disagree on matters of policy and politics, and our ideological tribes insulate us from thoughtful challenge. Andrew Heaton hopes to help you navigate a coarsening culture with his book, Tribalism is Dumb.
    Featuring Andrew Heaton and Caleb O. Brown

    Tax and Budget Policy
    Cato scholars examine federal, state, and local spending and tax issues from a limited government perspective. They explore the benefits of lower-rate tax systems, the distortions caused by government spending, and the dangers of rising debt. A guiding principle for budget policy is federalism, the idea that federal activities should be limited and most government activities are better handled by the states.

    Raised to Obey: The Rise and Spread of Mass Education

    End Federal School Food Programs
    End Federal School Food Programs
    Congress will need to make any cuts permanent, but downsizing the federal education bureaucracy is a long-overdue reform. The department, however, is not the only way that the federal government intervenes in the nation’s schools.

    Defense and Foreign Policy
    Defense and Foreign Policy
    Cato’s foreign and defense policies are guided by the view that the United States is relatively secure, and so should engage the world, trade freely, and work with other countries on common concerns, but avoid trying to dominate it militarily. We should be an example of democracy and human rights, not their armed vindicator abroad. Although that view is largely absent in Washington, D.C. today, it has a rich history, from George Washington to Cold War realists like George Kennan. Cato scholars aim to restore it. A principled and restrained foreign policy would keep the nation out of most foreign conflicts and be cheaper, more ethical, and less destructive of civil liberties.

    Immigration
    Most Americans are immigrants or descended from immigrants who sought opportunity and freedom on our shores. They and their children worked hard, assimilated, and added to our nation’s prosperity. Immigrants today continue to become Americans and, in the process, make the United States a wealthier, freer, and safer country. However, our current immigration system excludes most peaceful and healthy immigrants. Congress should look to America’s past for inspiration to expand and deregulate legal immigration.

    India’s Quest for Major Power Status
    T.V. Paul, professor of international relations at McGill University, talks about his recent book Unfinished Quest: India’s Search for Major Power Status from Nehru to Modi. Paul discusses India’s international status, the push for permanent membership on the UN Security Council, India’s military capabilities and “reactive grand strategy,” India’s complex relations with Russia and China, how some of India’s domestic problems hamper its international ambitions, and how U.S. policymakers should think about managing the U.S.-Indian relationship, among other topics.
