Centrul de Economie Politic? ?i Afaceri Murray Rothbard a ca?tigat acest premiu ?i datorit? activit??ii bogate realizate în cursul unui singur an: conferin?ele sus?inute de Jesus Huerta de Soto ?i Jeffrey Miron, numeroase workshop-uri ?i manifest?ri precum “Mastering Economic Journalism” ?i “Tax Freedom Day”, programul educa?ional “Great Books” ?i, nu în ultimul rând, ?coala de vara “Romania Austrian Economics Summer School 2011“. Toate aceste manifest?ri au fost realizate de un staff de doar 2 persoane – Bogdan Gl?van ?i Alexandru Butiseac? – cu un buget infim.
