Summer Reading Summertime can mean vacations and relaxing in the sun with a good book. Every year, the Cato Institute publishes books related to individual liberty, limited government, free markets, and peace. Catch up on popular new releases and old favorites with Cato's summer reading list. New Policy Analysis Calls for Lifting Drug Reimportation Ban In a new Cato Policy Analysis, Roger Pilon, Vice President for Legal Affairs, argues that the ban on reimportation of American-made drugs should be lifted, not to encourage reimportation, but to allow market incentives to surface. Drug prices in America soar far beyond prices in the rest of the world, yet our law restricts buyers and impedes competition by prohibiting Americans from buying American-made drugs abroad at those prices. Cato in the News (Please note: some links require a free registration.) Ted Galen Carpenter discusses the costs of security on MSNBC. Erik Luna on sentencing guidelines in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Michael Tanner on Kerry and Social Security in the Houston Chonicle. Steve Hanke on oil and politics in Forbes. David Boaz on liberal and conservative similarities in the Los Angeles Times.

Exiting Iraq
A special task force of scholars and policy experts examines the continuing U.S. occupation of Iraq and calls into question the Bush administration’s intention to “stay as long as necessary.” They argue that the presence of troops in Iraq distracts attention from fighting Al Qaeda and incites a new class of terrorists to take up arms against the United States. In this report, they chart a path for a prompt withdrawal. The task force’s findings are essential reading for anyone concerned with the ongoing conflict and the war on terrorism.

Social Security and Its Discontents
Milton Friedman, June O'Neill, and other leading experts examine the fatal problems of Social Security and offer concrete proposals for reform. This authoritative collection is part of Cato's Project on Social Security Choice.
