The directors and staff of the Cato Institute, and indeed friends of liberty throughout the world, are saddened by the passing of David Koch.
David's accomplishments as a businessman and philanthropist are estimable.
David is a director emeritus of Cato, having joined our board of directors in 1986 and serving for nearly 30 years.
Because the quality of our civil discourse has deteriorated in recent years, David's dedication to our principles often earned him unfair criticism and excoriation in the public arena.
He was motivated by a firm belief that liberty is the means to human flourishing, through which every individual is able to live a prosperous, meaningful life in a country and world at peace.
That he bore such unwarranted public criticism with dignity, and that it did not deter him from his work in advancing freedom, merits great respect from all of us.
We have no doubt that David's partnership will be missed by so many of the causes to which he dedicated himself, not least of which is the cause of liberty.
