Congratulations to GMU Professor Bryan Caplan who just won the 2006 Templeton Enterprise Award along with Edward Stringham, a professor at San Jose State! The prize is worth $25,000.
This year's winners are a diverse group of intellectuals who represent a wide variety of approaches to the study of economics, culture, and their dynamic relationship in our age of globalization. They received their prizes last night at a special awards dinner at the Princeton Club of New York City which featured keynote speaker Dr. Bruce Cole, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Cliff Grammich has more on the prize:
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute has announced its 2006 Templeton Enterprise Award winners. The awards are “presented annually to scholars under forty who have produced the very best books and articles in the field of humane economics and culture over the past two years.” Many of the honored works, e.g., Thomas Woods’ The Church and the Market, provide an interesting reconciliation of (Catholic) Church teaching with free market economics, drawing inferences one won’t typically see in staff work of the bishops’ conferences.
