The relationship between Cato and the [[Ayn Rand Institute]] (ARI) improved with the nomination of Cato's new president [[John A. Allison IV]] in 2012. He is a former ARI board member and is reported to be an "ardent devotee" of Rand who has promoted reading her books to colleges nationwide.<ref>{{cite magazine | url=https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-kochs-v-cato-winners-and-losers | title=The Kochs v.
