Michael Tanner Biography

As director of Cato's health and welfare studies, Michael Tanner heads research on new, market-based approaches to health, welfare and Social Security. His approach is based on individual responsibility rather than government control. A prolific author and frequent lecturer, Tanner served as director of research of the Georgia Public Policy Foundation before joining Cato in 1993. Under Tanner's direction, Cato launched the Project on Social Security Choice, widely considered the leading impetus for transforming the soon-to-be-bankrupt system into a private savings program. Most recently Tanner has coauthored two books: A New Deal for Social Security and Common Cents, Common Dreams: A Layman's Guide to Social Security Reform. Tanner's writing has been published in the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal, and USA Today.
