Benefits

Cato scholars seek to promote a better understanding around the world of the benefits of market‐​liberal policies and institutions

They also seek to prevent a better understanding of the drawbacks, but since the sentence is sourced to Cato, it does not mention that. I think the article should be less based on primary sources - it would make it less of of a propaganda tool. --Hob Gadling (talk) 05:55, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the "International" subsection of the "Cato positions on political issues and policies" section

I have marked this section as being written like an advertisement, since it makes no effort to rework Cato's stated positions in an encyclopedic, neutral way. 64.203.244.11 (talk) 14:46, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Severe NPOV Problem

There exists no section on criticism, even though many have commented on contributions to climate denialism and smoking lobbying, etc. Onhand I have no specific examples but I’m sure they could be found rather easily. 2600:4041:5804:2500:6056:CFD4:8105:DB7 (talk) 01:36, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism is good, especially on this anti-science organization, but criticism sections are not. See WP:CSECTION. --Hob Gadling (talk) 07:57, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
