Think tanks from nine countries have received recognition as winners within the 2008 Templeton Freedom Awards program, announced the Atlas Economic Research Foundation.  Representing four continents, the 16 recipients were chosen from over 170 applications from 58 countries, by an independent panel of expert judges.

The “emerging institute” winner was the Institute of Economic and Social Studies (INESS, Slovakia), the CEE Trust grantee, for their website, The Price of the State.  This site presents accurate and detailed information on the components of public finance in a manner that is easily comprehensible by a viewer with no economics background.  With the goal of increasing public pressure to restrain state expenditures, The Price of the State monitors state waste and enables taxpayers to calculate his or her own tax burden.
