Back in November '95, Michael Perelman posted an announcement to the Pen-L list of an essay prize on the topic "Privatization: has it gone far enough?" One of the organizers of the competition was Robin Hanson, also the originator of the "Policy Analysis Market" currently in the news. I remember because I won the $1,000 prize.
