Distinguished Scholar Award

The Distinguished Scholar Award is presented each year to a member of APEE who has, over a sustained period of years, made a significant contribution to the research and literature of free market economics. Recognizing that ideas which are not communicated are ideas which will have no impact, this award is presented to those among us who are the thinkers and communicators. Those, who by the dint of rigorous research and clear thinking, have communicated to their colleagues in academe and the public in general the fundamental understandings of the market economy and the system of entrepreneurship which is integral to it.

Douglas Den Uyl and Douglas Rasmussen ("The Two Dougs") receive the Distinguished Scholar Award
from the APEE 2012 President Benjamin Powell.
