Professor John B. Taylor awarded the Hayek Prize by the Manhattan Institute in New York.

 On May 31st John Taylor will deliver the Hayek Lecture. The Hayek Lecture is delivered by the recipient of the Hayek Prize, which honors the book published within the past two years that best reflects Hayek’s vision of economic and individual liberty. The Hayek Prize, with its $50,000 award, is among the world’s most generous book prizes. It was conceived and funded by Manhattan Institute trustee Tom Smith to recognize the influence of F.A. Hayek and to encourage other scholars to follow his example. Taylor was chosen by a selection committee of distinguished economists and journalists for his book:   First Principles: Five Keys to Restoring America’s Prosperity.
