The Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty
May 18, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 10:30 pm EDT
The late Nobel laureate Milton Friedman agreed in 2001 to lend his name to the Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty, which has become the leading international award for acknowledging contributions to the promotion of individual liberty. In a statement at the time he said: “Those of us who were fortunate enough to live and be raised in a reasonably free society tend to underestimate the importance of freedom. We tend to take it for granted. It has made us in the West more complacent, so having a prize emphasizing liberty is extremely important.” Dr. Friedman died in 2006.
The Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty, named in honor of perhaps the greatest champion of liberty in the 20th century, is presented every other year to an individual who has made a significant contribution to advance human freedom.
Save the date for the 2023 Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty Biennial Dinner on May 18, 2023 at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC.
