By For more than 40 years, David Boaz has been Cato’s indispensable man—our jack of all trades and master of all trades. He’s made an enormous contribution to the development, not only of the Institute, but the entire libertarian agenda. As a prominent critic, an authoritative voice on a broad range of policy issues, a widely read author, and a cherished colleague, David has earned our enduring respect, admiration, and gratitude.
David’s book, Libertarianism: A Primer, is, from my perspective, the best book on libertarianism ever written. And his other writings have been a treasure—promoting the libertarian view on vital questions of the day. David has been our intellectual godfather and superstar of the libertarian movement. Second to no one, he’s been responsible for injecting libertarian ideas into public discourse.
Thank you, David, for your devotion, commitment, and countless accomplishments—writing, speaking, editing, tutoring and, of course, promoting the Cato Institute and our shared pro‐liberty mission.
