El Cato About Cato's Project on Global Economic Liberty The Project on Global Economic Liberty was established as socialism and central planning were collapsing worldwide. Under the direction of Ian Vásquez , the Project seeks to demonstrate that a country's domestic policies and institutions are the primary determinants of its economic progress and that the best path toward development is one based on open markets, private property rights, and the rule of law. Through publications, conferences, and policy forums, scholars in economic development studies address a range of issues including international financial crises, debt forgiveness, the informal economy, policy reform, the effectiveness of International Monetary Fund and World Bank lending, public pension privatization, the transition from socialism to the market, and globalization. The Project's emphasis on unilateral liberalization as the most effective way to achieve economic growth is the logical outgrowth of its research.

Poverty Books In Defense of Global Capitalism A young writer from Sweden, who started on the anarchist left, Johan Norberg has traveled to Vietnam, Africa, and other hot spots in the battle over globalization.

Norberg takes on the tough issues-economic growth, freedom vs. equality, free trade and fair trade, international debt, child labor, cultural imperialism-and concludes that free-market capitalism is the best route out of global poverty. | |
