$500,000 Prize for Advancing Freedom
The winner gets $500,000 cash within the next 6 months.
Well, that got your attention. Nominations are being accepted for the Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty. Previous winners include Hernando de Soto and Peter Bauer. It goes to "an individual who has made a significant contribution to the advancement of human freedom."
MENA-oriented folks like our readership may come up with some deserving person others will not immediately think of. Warning to progressives: the prize-givers take economic liberty in free markets as a vital component of broader liberty. So a successful nominee will probably have made an impact in that area.
