How Does Cato Unbound Work?

by The Editors

December 5th, 2005

Each month, Cato Unbound publishes a lead essay by one of the world’s leading thinkers. Then, every other day or so, a new reaction essay by one of three commentators will appear, to be followed by a more free form discussion inspired by the initial exchange of ideas. In the spaces between, we’ll publish the best of your letters and blog posts, creating a hub for a broader conversation about our heady topics.

Issue One will look like this:

12/05:

» James M. Buchanan, “Three Amendments: Responsibility, Generality, and Natural Liberty.”

12/07:

» Akhil Reed Amar, “Reply.”

12/09:

» Alex Kozinski, “Reply.”

12/13:

» William A. Niskanen, “Reply.”

12/15:

» James M. Buchanan, “Response to Critics.”

12/17 - 12/21:

» Discussion.

Remember: the shape of the final product will also be determined by your blog posts, articles, and letters.

Send your letters to wwilkinson@cato.org, and if you blog about an essay or idea here, don’t forget to ping the trackback address or to drop us a line. No remote intellectual citadel, Cato Unbound is an exchange floor in the marketplace of ideas, and we look forward to doing business with you.
