Another one to applaud ----- Boudreaux Wins Szasz Award Freeman columnist and George Mason University economics professor Donald Boudreaux has won the 2009 Thomas Szasz Award for Contributions to the Cause of Civil Liberties. The Szasz Award committee recognized Boudreaux for his many years of promoting freedom in all its aspects through his writing and lecturing. Boudreaux, who was FEE’s president from 1997 to 2001, won the general award. This year’s winner of the professional award is Thomas Greening, PhD, a longtime associate of Szasz and promoter of his work. The winners receive a plaque and $1,000. For more than five decades, Szasz, also a Freeman columnist, has distinguished himself as the preeminent defender of individual rights in the fields of psychiatry and psychology. He has remained a steadfast champion of the classical-liberal values of voluntary interaction, the rule of law, and an open society. His struggle on behalf of civil liberties has been indefatigable, sustained despite intense opposition over a lifetime of brilliant intellectual accomplishment. The award is a project of the Center for Independent Thought. feeblog.org volokh.com
