The Milton Friedman Prize for Advancing Liberty, named in honor ofperhaps the greatest champion of liberty in the 20th century, is presented every other year to someone who has made a significant contribution to advancing human freedom. The late Nobel laureate Milton Friedman agreed in 2001 to lend his name to the prize. In a statement at the time, Friedman said: "Those of us who were fortw1ate enough to live and be raised in a reasonably free society tend to underestimate the importance offreedom. We tend to take it for granted. It has made us in the West more complacent, so having a
prize emphasizing liberty is extremely important:'
The Milton Friedman Prize is recognized as the leading international award for acknowledging contributions to the promotion of individual liberty. It is a privilege to present the 2025 Prize on May 1 in Washington, DC.
