History

The Cato institute is a ‘public policy research organization - think tank’ which was founded in 1977 by Edward H. Crane (Founder and President) and Charles Koch (Vice President of Koch Industries) [1] [2]. The name Cato Institute was based on the early 18th-century British essays written by John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon under the alias of Cato, where the series of essays were in support of freedom of speech and political liberty. These very principles such as: ‘Individual liberty, limited government, free markets and peace’ form the basis of the Cato Institute’s values today [3] [4].
