Not to be confused with the Bastian Prize for translation.
The Bastiat Prize was a journalism award given annually by the Reason Foundation. In 2011 and before it was given by the International Policy Network.[1] The Bastiat Prize recognized journalists whose published works "explain, promote and defend the principles of the free society."[2][3] The award came with US$15,000.[4]
Instituted in 2002, the Prize was inspired by the 19th-century French philosopher Frédéric Bastiat and his defense of liberty. Bastiat's use of satire and allegory enabled him to relate complex economic issues to a general audience. In keeping with his legacy, Bastiat Prize entries were judged on intellectual content, the persuasiveness of the language used, and the type of publication in which they appeared
