Speaking of prizes, Cato has just announced a biennial Milton
Friedman Prize for the Advancement of Liberty. The award will be a cash
prize of $500,000 to one individual for "significant achievement in the
advancement of liberty." The first prize will be presented May 9, 2002.
Any predictions/wishes/thoughts?
Note by the way how far things have come since the early days of say
Mont Pelerin when there were some 8 democracies left in the world,
socialism was advancing everywhere, and people like Friedman and Hayek
were universally thought of as cranks. Makes me optimistic.
