 Reforming the Federal Reserve’s Rescue Authority | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 0:19:49

View the full event here: http://www.cato.org/events/reforming-federal-reserves-rescue-authority When Congress examined this issue during the Dodd-Frank Act, they placed new limits on emergency lending that are contained in Section 1101 of the legislation. These limits are clearly intended to limit 13-3 lending to programs that are truly broad based (as opposed to bailing out a small set of insider Wall Street institutions) and to exclude the use of the program for bailouts of institutions that are actually insolvent. Join us as we discuss whether Dodd-Frank's limitations to the Fed's 13-3 powers went too far, or not far enough.

 Blessing or Scourge? Capitalism through the Eyes of Pope Francis - Part II | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 0:18:48

Richards, Executive Editor, The Stream, Senior Fellow, Discovery Institute's Center on Wealth, Poverty and Morality; By returning the focus of the Catholic Church to the plight of the poor, Pope Francis has become much loved and admired. His prestige and influence is commensurate with his humanity and humility. But is Francis right about capitalism and its consequences? Is it true that capitalism is a form of exploitation that leads to poverty and inequality? Or is it the only proven way of dramatically reducing poverty and, even, achieving unprecedented material abundance?

 Magna Carta and Modern Controversies from Multiculturalism to Political Correctness | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 0:25:49

The Magna Carta was a milestone that circumscribed the power of the sovereign for the first time in human history. In his new book, distinguished British historian and television personality David Starkey looks at the origins of the Great Charter in the 13th century, its significant early revisions, and the ways in which it has been interpreted and reinterpreted by subsequent generations. Starkey explains how core principles of this quintessentially English document migrated to the North American colonies and eventually became the cornerstone of the U.S. Constitution. He also explores how the Magna Carta indirectly led to the enshrinement of human rights in such documents as the Bill of Rights.

 Race, Housing, and Education | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 0:20:18

It has long been a public policy goal—and social ideal—to bring black and white children together in the same schools. It is a goal, however, that has not been met. In this forum we will discuss several reasons for this, including federal policies that have all but assured segregated housing and, hence, segregated public schools. We will also look at potential ways to solve these problems that are both ambitious and realistic about what can be accomplished. We hope you'll join us for this crucial conversation.

 India Awakes | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 0:19:29

For many centuries, only the politically connected and elite prospered in India, while the rest of the population lived in poverty. Since 1991, however, 250 million people have been lifted out of poverty and are finding new ways of unlocking their potential. India Awakes explores an inherited British bureaucracy, which created layers of rules and regulations, and it shows how globalization and economic liberalization are leading to social change. Join us to see a segment of the documentary from the Free to Choose Network. Film host Johan Norberg will discuss how individuals from different parts of India are breaking down the centuries-old caste system through new opportunities, entrepreneurship, and by obtaining property and other legal rights.

 E-Verify: The Impact of National Employment Verification on Work, Privacy, and Liberty | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 0:07:27

Without congressional reauthorization, E-Verify, the electronic employment eligibility verification program, will sunset on September 30. E-Verify is intended to screen illegal immigrants out of the job market by turning off the "jobs magnet" that attracts them to American soil. Many policymakers want to mandate E-Verify as part of an enforcement-only immigration policy. But its high error rate will delay or prevent employment for many current U.S. citizens, legal immigrants, and migrant workers. Furthermore, E-Verify is incapable of meaningfully locking unlawful immigrants out of America's job market. If E-Verify is ever made permanent, and its inadequacy in stemming the flow of illegal migrants made apparent, the likely outcome will be the creation of a biometric identification system capable of regulating our lives in areas far outside of immigration enforcement. Join us for a discussion of E-Verify and its many perils.

 Candidate Lessig's Bad Example | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 0:03:04

When Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig announced to run for president primarily to change the way campaigns are financed, he pointed to the 1968 campaign of Eugene McCarthy as an example of a single issue campaign that made a big impact. However, the McCarthy example stands at odds with Lessig's campaign platform. John Samples explains. Produced by Caleb Brown and Tess Terrible.
