David Boaz (2018)

David Boaz (/ˈb.æz/; August 29, 1953 – June 7, 2024) was Distinguished Senior Fellow and the former executive vice president of the Cato Institute, an American libertarian think tank.

Boaz was born in 1953 in Kentucky. He studied at Vanderbilt University from 1971 to 1975, and as a young man was involved with economic conservative circles.[1] He was the author of Libertarianism: A Primer, published in 1997 by the Free Press and described in the Los Angeles Times as "a well-researched manifesto of libertarian ideas."[2] He was also the editor of The Libertarian Reader and co-editor of the Cato Handbook for Congress (2003) and the Cato Handbook on Policy (2005). He frequently discussed such topics as education choice, the growth of government, the ownership society, his support of drug legalization as a consequence of the individual right to self-determination,[3][4][5]anon-interventionist foreign policy,[6] and the rise of libertarianism on national television and radio shows.

His articles were also published in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, National Review, and Slate. He appeared on ABC's Politically Incorrect, CNN's Crossfire, NPR's Talk of the Nation and All Things Considered, Fox News Channel, BBC, Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and other media. Boaz, a graduate of Vanderbilt University, was once the editor of The New Guard magazine and was executive director of the Council for a Competitive Economy prior to joining Cato in 1981.
