In November [[2002]], shortly after Cato was named the "Best Advocacy Website" by the Web Marketing Association, the [[Alexa Internet|Alexa]] [[ratings]] service issued a report saying that it was "the most popular think tank site over the past three months," receiving a total of 188,901 unique visitors during the previous month of September.

The Cato Institute publishes the periodicals Cato Journal, Regulation, Cato Supreme Court Review, and Cato Policy Report; policy studies; and books, such as Social Security: The Inherent Contradiction; In Defense of Global Capitalism; Voucher Wars; You Can't Say That!; Peace and Freedom: A Foreign Policy for a Constitutional Republic; Restoring the Lost Constitution; and Reclaiming the Mainstream: Individualist Feminism Reconsidered.
The Institute may be best known for its advocacy of privatizing [[Social Security (United States)|Social Security]]. The ''New Republic'' wrote in 2001, "Cato is an indispensable source of expertise--with two decades of pro-privatization research and lobbying under its belt, it knows more about the issue [of Social Security] than just about anyone else in Washington." The Cato Institute established its Project on Social Security Privatization in 1995, renaming it the Project on Social Security Choice in 2002. The co-chair of the Project, José Piñera, was in charge of the privatization of the [[Chile]]an system under [[Augusto Pinochet]].
