Special Event

Cato Next Gen Reception,
New York City
Hosted by Zak and Chaya Gelfond
In Peak Human, Cato Senior Fellow Johan Norberg examines seven periods of extraordinary human flourishing—from ancient Athens and the Roman Republic to Song China and even the Dutch Republic—and reveals how innovation and openness drove their greatness and how close-minded mistakes ultimately led to their demise. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Johan will share what history’s greatest civilizations did right while offering critical lessons for preserving our own.
Please join us at PubKey in DC on May 6 for an evening of stimulating ideas and good company. We’ll have a few copies of Johan’s book available for signing, so please plan to arrive early for your free copy.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Serena Home at shome@cato.org.
