I'm glad that CATO is going the way it is. Now any liberty-minded person can see it as the shithole that it has always been

He did great work in presenting the causes and cures of the financial crisis, but too many people are blinded by the government propaganda-fear campaign and buy into the mission of the phony war on terror.

 

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

He's an Objectivist. Take that as you will. (E.g. he has given lots of money to the ARI - those big ass warmongers (Peikoff, etc.))

You think Cato would appoint a Rothbardian/Misesian? HAHAHA. Dude, they stole CATO from Rothbard. Of course they're going to give it to these pseudo-fake libertarians.

Keep in mind, Allison's expertise is in the financial sector. I don't see him changing CATO's foreign policy direction.
