Political philosopher and Nobel laureate F. A. Hayek, author
of groundbreaking works such as The Road to Serfdom
and The Constitution of Liberty, was the key figure
in the twentieth century revival of classical liberalism.
He was also a formative influence on the Manhattan Institute.
When our founder, Sir Antony Fisher, asked how best to reverse
the erosion of freedom, Hayek advised him not to begin with
politics per se but to fight first on the battlefield of ideas.
Our Hayek Lecture affirms and celebrates this mission. The
Lecture is delivered by the recipient of the Hayek Prizea
new Manhattan Institute prize that honors the book published
within the past two years that best reflects Friedrich von
Hayek's vision of economic and individual liberty. The purpose
of the award is to recognize the long-running influence of
the Road to Serfdom and to encourage other scholars
to follow Hayek's example. The winner of the Hayek Prize is
chosen by a selection committee of distinguished economists
and journalists and asked to deliver our annual Hayek Lecture.
The winning author receives a $50,000 financial prize.
