Burning Man
6:00 pm

Cato Institute
1000 Massachusetts Avenue NW

Featuring Grover Norquist, President, Americans for Tax Reform (@GroverNorquist); Mark Lutter, President, Institute for Innovative Governance, (@MarkLutter); Jeremy Tunnell, Cofounder, Thumbtack, (@jeremytunnell); Robert Mariani, Freelance journalist, (@robert_mariani); moderated by Kat Murti, Senior Digital Outreach Manager, Cato Institute (@KatMurti
For just one week every year, roughly 70,000 people from around the world come together in the Nevada desert to create Black Rock City, home to Burning Man, billed by its organizers as an “annual experiment in temporary community dedicated to radical self-expression and radical self-reliance.”
Because cash exchanges and the barter system are largely banned in Black Rock City (Burning Man instead relies on something called the “gift economy”), Burning Man is often seen as an attack on conventional libertarian principles.
However, as a voluntary community driven by freedom of association, self-governance, nonviolent dispute mediation, and emergent order, Burning Man is in many ways a quintessential example of the libertopian ideal.
On Wednesday, January 24th, please join the Cato Institute for a robust conversation about what libertarians can learn from Burning Man — and how these lessons can be applied to policy and philosophy.
If you can’t make it to the event, you can watch it live online and join the conversation on Twitter using #CatoDigital. Follow @CatoEventson Twitter to get future event updates and videos from the Cato Institute.

School Choice: The Non-Academic Imperative


Special Event 


4:00PM to 4:30PM EST
ADD TO CALENDAR
Online: http://www.facebook.com/CatoInstitute 
Featuring Neal McCluskey (@NealMcCluskey), Director, Center for Educational Freedom, Cato Institute; Corey DeAngelis (@DeAngelisCorey), Policy Analyst, Center for Educational Freedom, Cato Institute. 
Like the country’s overall education discussion, the national school choice debate is far too often reduced to “which schools get better test scores” and maybe even “who gets kids to graduation.” But there is so much more to education than blunt academic outcome measures, including shaping character, transmitting culture, and just plain advancing freedom.
In this special, National School Choice Week Facebook Live event, join the Cato Center for Educational Freedom crew to tackle these far deeper, arguably far more important goals and desires for education. We’ll be taking your questions via Facebook and Twitter, using #CatoCEF. Join the conversation!
