Frédéric Bastiat (1801-1850) was a French philosopher and politician whose clear, elegant writing used simple illustrative examples persuasively to make the case that "The solution to the problems of human relationships is to be found in liberty."
In the enduring spirit of Bastiat's brilliant work and his profound understanding and explication of the dangers of government intervention, the Bastiat Prize for Journalism is given to writers who explain the importance of freedom with originality, wit, and eloquence.
The winner of the Bastiat Prize will be announced at the Reason Media Awards dinner in New York City on November 10, 2014.
The Bastiat Prize is one of three prizes which will be awarded in the 2014 Reason Media Awards, which showcase the efforts of outstanding journalists who are advancing the principles of free minds and free markets by educating their readers about individual liberty, free markets, and the rule of law.
