Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI), in partnership with
the John Templeton Foundation, established the Culture of
Enterprise Initiative to explore the cultural traits, institutional
prerequisites, and societal achievements of the free-market economy
worldwide. The Initiative's goal is to further illuminate, in
our age of globalization, the underpinnings of humane market
systems. To realize this vision, ISI and the John Templeton
Foundation are hosting the Templeton Enterprise Awards, granted
annually to three books and three articles written by scholars
under forty years of age which exemplify the core principles of the
Culture of Enterprise Initiative. The Awards are intended to
cultivate a new generation of rising scholars with the willingness
to examine and explicate the crucial nexus that exists between
economic prosperity and moral flourishing within model free
societies. Among the largest in the United States, the prizes
are $50,000 for the winning book and $25,000 for the leading
article.
