The book also features contributions from Roger Pilon, Evan Turgeon, Ross McKitrick, Ivan Eland, Sallie James, Indur M. Goklany, Robert E. Davis and Neal McCluskey.

Despite occasional trade frictions in the U.S.-China relationship, the citizens of both countries and their governments have a profound mutual interest in harmonious economic relations. Still, many Americans worry about the economic implications of China's rise, as well as its effect on the balance of power in Asia. While the Obama administration has promoted a "pivot" toward Asia, the media have been spilling ink over the proposition that China has thrived at U.S. expense for too long, and that her growing assertiveness requires U.S. policy changes. According to columnist Robert J. Samuelson, "China's worldview threatens America's geopolitical and economic interests." Have the once-respected demarcations between the strategic and economic aspects of the relationship been blurred permanently?

Cryptocurrency regulation sits at the intersection of multiple regulatory regimes: financial markets regulators and banking regulators, among many others, have asserted authority over certain aspects of crypto regulation, which has resulted in an overlapping and incomplete regulatory framework that has drawn criticism from both proponents and skeptics of crypto innovation. So, how is cryptocurrency regulated? How should it be regulated? Who should regulate it? Cato’s Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives is looking at these questions with a series that examines the roles of different regulators and considers what type of regulatory framework should be adopted to balance the risks and innovative potential of cryptocurrencies.
This second panel addresses the role of banking regulators in regulating cryptocurrency, focusing on the current state of banking regulation that relates to crypto and discussing the benefits and limitations of this regulation. Join Dan Awrey, Albert Forkner, and Jai Massari in a panel discussion moderated by Jon Hill from Law360 on how banking regulators should approach crypto regulation.

Despite the case’s outcome, Kelo v. City of New London shattered what many believed to be a consensus that virtually any condemnation satisfies the Fifth Amendment. Kelo thus led to significant progress, but there is much work to be done.

Amidst congressional debate over the future of federal surface transportation funding, one fact stands out: the gasoline tax is increasingly less viable as a source of highway user fees. Inflation, increasing fuel economy, and electric cars have eroded the amount drivers pay per mile by two-thirds since 1956, when Congress created the Interstate Highway System. What are the alternatives? What is the future of highway financing?
