Julian Simon authored the 1981 classic, The Ultimate Resource, which debunked eco-doomsayers’ predictions that modern civilization is unsustainable. Simon made the defining case that human creativity is the ultimate resource. Since 2001, the Competitive Enterprise Institute has honored an individual whose work continues to promote these principles with the Julian L. Simon Memorial Award.
