A release from the Foundation for Economic Education:
The first annual Beth A. Hoffman Memorial Prize for Economic Writing has
been awarded to Kevin A. Carson, the Foundation for Economic Education
announced. Through the generosity of a FEE donor, the prize has been
established to honor the memory of Beth A. Hoffman by recognizing the
best article on economics or economic history published in /The Freeman
/the previous year.
Carson's article, "The Distorting Effects of Transportation Subsidies,"
<http://www.thefreemanonline.org/featured/the-distorting-effects-of-transportation-subsidies/>
appeared in the November 2010 issue of /The Freeman/. It was selected
from a list of five nominees by an outside panel of judges who knew and
worked with Beth Hoffman for many years.
The prize consists of $2,000 and a plaque. A perpetual plaque will also
be displayed at FEE's headquarters.
The upshot of Carson's winning article is that "subsidies to
transportation have probably done more than any other factor (with the
possible exception of intellectual property law) to determine the
present shape of the American corporate economy. Currently predominating
firm sizes and market areas are the result of government subsidies to
transportation."
Beth Hoffman (1950-2008) was the long-time managing editor of /The Freeman/.

What would England and the world have been like in 1959 if there had
been no Second World War? For one possible answer, read Sean Gabb's new
novel "The Churchill Memorandum". If you like Bulldog Drummond and
Biggles and the early James Bond, this will be right up your street:
