In this episode of the IEA Podcast, Reem Ibrahim, Communications Manager at the Institute for Economic Affairs, is joined by Matthew Lesh, Public Policy Fellow and Country Manager of Freshwater Strategy, and Dr. Kristian Niemietz, the IEA's Editorial Director. They discuss the IMF's recent economic forecasts showing UK growth downgraded to 1.1%, examining how domestic factors like increased bills and labor market regulations have contributed to this outlook alongside global concerns about Trump's tariffs. The conversation then turns to millionaires leaving the UK, with around 10,000 high-net-worth individuals having departed last year following changes to the non-dom tax regime. The panel explores how tax policies impact behaviour, with wealthy individuals increasingly relocating to more tax-friendly jurisdictions, and discusses the potential consequences for UK tax revenue and investment when top earners leave the country. Finally, the trio examines Dr. Niemietz's latest read, "Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism," critically analysing the book's claims that socialist systems provide women with greater economic independence and better intimate relationships. The panelists challenge the book's methodology and underlying assumptions, arguing that capitalism actually provides women with more financial freedom and independence than socialist systems.

The Corporate Playbook Debunked | Dr. Christopher Snowdon | IEA Briefing 15:12

منذ 1 day15:12

15:12

In this new IEA briefing, Reem Ibrahim, Communications Manager and Linda Whetstone Scholar at the IEA, sits down with Dr. Christopher Snowdon, Head of Lifestyle Economics. Dr. Snowdon discusses his recently published IEA Discussion Paper "The Corporate Playbook," which critically examines how public health academics characterise industry tactics. Dr. Snowdon argues that what public health activists label as the "corporate playbook" or "tobacco playbook" actually consists of ordinary political activities used by all policy stakeholders - including the public health community itself. These common tactics include media engagement, commissioning research, lobbying, holding public events, and critiquing opposing evidence. He demonstrates that public health advocates employ identical methods while using pejorative language to delegitimise the same activities when performed by industries they oppose. The conversation highlights the irony that while public health activists accuse various industries of following a "tobacco playbook," they themselves follow an "anti-tobacco blueprint" - systematically applying the same incremental regulatory approach to new sectors like food and alcohol that was previously used for tobacco. Dr. Snowdon notes that this represents both projection and a continuation of the mission creep and slippery slope that public health advocates previously denied would occur. This is a public episode.

What the Media Gets WRONG About Islam and Democracy | Mustafa Akyol | IEA Interviews 34:32

منذ 3 أيام34:32

34:32

Join Communications Manager Reem Ibrahim from the Institute of Economic Affairs as she interviews Mustafa Akyol, senior fellow at the Centre for Global Liberty and Prosperity at the Cato Institute. In this thought-provoking conversation, Akyol, author of "Islam Without Extremes: A Muslim Case for Liberty," "Why, As a Muslim, I Defend Liberty," and "The Islamic Mesa," discusses the crucial distinction between Islam as a faith and political Islamism as an ideology. Throughout the interview, Akyol provides profound insights into the compatibility between classical liberalism and Islamic principles, tracing how concepts of free markets, limited government, and religious freedom have historical roots in Islamic tradition. He explores how liberal democratic states, rather than so-called "Islamic states," often provide better environments for Muslims to practice their faith according to their beliefs, citing examples from various countries and historical periods. The conversation addresses important questions about social cohesion in Western societies, challenging both far-right anti-Muslim sentiment and illiberal Islamist ideologies. Akyol offers valuable perspective on how preserving liberal democratic principles benefits both Muslim communities and Western societies, emphasizing that plurality, free exchange, and religious freedom represent timeless values that allow diverse communities to flourish together.

The Future of British Conservatism & UK Politics | Simon Heffer | IEA Briefing 21:45

منذ 5 أيام21:45

21:45

Join Reem Ibrahim, Communications Director at the Institute of Economic Affairs, for a conversation with Simon Heffer, Telegraph columnist and Professor of Modern British History at the University of Buckingham. In this briefing, they discuss the current state of British conservatism, the challenges of public sector unions and bureaucracy, and their perspectives on Donald Trump's tariff policies and potential implications for the UK. Heffer shares his views on how conservatism has lost its philosophical roots during the 2010-2024 Conservative governments and what Kemi Badenoch might bring as party leader. He draws parallels between the current economic situation and the 1970s, particularly regarding trade unions and public spending, suggesting that a future Conservative government would need to conduct an audit of public sector jobs to reduce bureaucracy. The discussion also covers the potential future direction of the Conservative Party, with Heffer predicting that Badenoch will likely adopt a Thatcherite approach focusing on smaller government and lower taxation. Heffer also recalls his memorable first meeting with Friedrich Hayek at the IEA in 1981, providing a personal connection to the think tank's intellectual foundations. This is a public episode.

The Cost of Economic Nationalism & Political Realignment | IEA Podcast 26:39

منذ 8 أيام26:39

26:39

In this episode of the Institute of Economic Affairs podcast, host Callum Price, Director of Communications, speaks with Stephen Davies, Senior Education Fellow, and returning guest Dr. Kristian Niemietz, the IEA's Editorial Director. The conversation explores Donald Trump's tariff policies, the decline of globalisation, and political realignment theory. Stephen Davies argues that the Prime Minister's claim that "globalisation is dead" may be accurate, especially considering the MAGA movement's push for economic nationalism. The discussion examines how globalisation's benefits have been unevenly distributed, creating economic and cultural disquiet in former industrial regions while metropolitan areas thrived. Davies highlights the tension within the MAGA coalition between Trump's trade advisers and tech figures like Elon Musk, noting that Wall Street and the financial sector are viewed as enemies by many Trump voters. Niemietz offers a more optimistic perspective, suggesting that Trump's trade policies might be temporary rather than signalling the permanent end of globalisation. The conversation concludes by exploring potential futures for American politics and global trade. Davies expresses concern about geopolitical competition with China moving beyond trade wars, while Niemietz suggests that a post-Trump Republican Party might take a more agnostic approach to trade policy. The panelists note that classical liberal economic ideas are finding unexpected allies as previously anti-free-trade voices suddenly discover the downsides of protectionist policies when implemented by Trump.

The Carbon Market Time Bomb | Free the Power 27:07

منذ 10 أيام27:07

27:07

Join us for the second episode of "Free the Power," the IEA series exploring market-based solutions to the UK's energy challenges. Host Andy Mayer sits down with Nicholas Leighton-Hall, Energy Consultant and Author of The Marginal Cost of Everything SubStack, to examine the UK's problematic emissions trading scheme. In this revealing discussion, Leighton-Hall exposes how the UK's post-Brexit carbon market has created a "structural fragility" for British industry. He explains how financial institutions with "deep pockets" can corner this artificially constrained market, potentially driving carbon prices to £100 per tonne and adding £50 per megawatt hour to electricity costs. Leighton-Hall warns this system is making UK energy "prohibitively expensive" while failing to achieve efficient decarbonization. This is the second instalment of our series examining energy policies through a free market lens. Subscribe to catch future episodes featuring leading thinkers who challenge conventional wisdom on market interventions, government price controls, and sustainable energy economics. Can the UK fix its broken carbon market, or will political manipulation of energy markets lead to economic disaster? This is a public episode.

Who Will Pay More Tax? IFS Paul Johnson | IEA Interview 45:18

منذ 12 يومًا45:18

45:18

In this interview, former Institute for Fiscal Studies Director Paul Johnson joins IEA Executive Director Tom Clougherty to discuss the major fiscal policy trends in Britain over Johnson's 14-year tenure. Johnson offers a comprehensive analysis of how the UK tax system has evolved under Conservative governments, highlighting the surprising increase in tax progressivity and the record-high tax burden as a percentage of national income, which has risen from around 33-34% historically to 38% today. The discussion explores challenging fiscal realities facing the UK, including rising public debt, increasing demands on public services, and the impact of recent global economic shocks. Johnson provides thoughtful commentary on the structural issues within the UK tax system, including problematic thresholds, the "impoverishment" of high earners, and what he calls the "tyranny of the status quo" that prevents meaningful reform despite broad expert consensus on what changes are needed. As he prepares to step down from the IFS this summer, Johnson shares his perspective on growth-enhancing reforms, the significant constraints on public spending reduction, and his assessment of the current government's rhetoric versus action on economic policy. Drawing on insights from his book "Follow the Money," Johnson offers viewers a balanced and informed examination of Britain's fiscal challenges and potential paths forward in an increasingly uncertain global economic environment.

Trump vs Markets: The Financial Crisis & His Tariff Retreat | IEA Podcast 34:35

منذ 15 يومًا34:35

34:35

In this episode of the IEA podcast, host Callum Price, Director of Communications, is joined by Tom Clougherty, Executive Director, and Dr. Kristian Niemietz, Editorial Director, to discuss recent economic developments. The conversation begins with an analysis of President Trump's tariff policies, including his recent 90-day pause on certain tariff increases beyond the 10% base rate. They then examine Westminster City Council's controversial proposal to seize properties left empty for over six months, and finally discuss the economic implications of the newly approved Universal theme park in Bedford, debating whether it should be required to use exclusively British steel. The discussion delves into the unpredictable nature of Trump's trade approach, exploring whether it represents a coherent economic nationalist vision or a more capricious policy stance. The conversation then shifts to examine Westminster Council's empty homes proposal, with the hosts arguing that undermining property rights is a dangerous approach to addressing housing shortages. Finally, they debate the merits of government intervention in the steel industry amid news of the Universal theme park development, questioning whether nationalisation of steel production is economically viable and if theme park construction should be tied to supporting domestic steel manufacturing. We bring you a public affairs podcast with a difference. We want to get beyond the headlines and instead focus on the big ideas and foundational principles that matter to classical liberals.

Britain's Economic COLLAPSE: From Global Leader to 27th Place | Lord Moynihan | IEA Live 1:19:08

منذ 16 يومًا1:19:08

1:19:08

In this IEA Live event interview, Executive Director Tom Clougherty sits down with Lord Moynihan of Chelsea to explore the key themes from his two-volume work "Return to Growth." Lord Moynihan presents his analysis of what he calls "the three devils" preventing UK economic growth: excessive government spending, high taxation, and burdensome regulation. Throughout their conversation, they explore how the UK has moved from a position of economic strength to facing stagnant growth, with current GDP per capita growth effectively at zero. Lord Moynihan offers a stark assessment of Britain's economic decline, arguing that the country has transitioned from a free market economy toward an increasingly extractive state system. He suggests that returning to policies similar to those of early Blair-era Britain, when government spending was around 30% of GDP rather than today's 45%, could help restore annual growth to 3%. The conversation delves into specific issues such as energy policy, employment regulations, and the challenges posed by Wagner's Law—the tendency of democracies to demand ever-expanding government services. The discussion also explores broader cultural factors affecting growth, including the exodus of entrepreneurial talent from the UK and the psychological differences between "head" and "heart" decision-making that influence political choices. Lord Moynihan concludes with a sobering analysis of how difficult meaningful reform might be given the entrenched regulatory state but maintains that a shift in the Overton Window of acceptable political discourse could eventually create the conditions for change, similar to what happened before the Thatcher revolution of the 1980s.

Join us for the premiere episode of "Free the Power," the new IEA series exploring market-based solutions to the UK's energy challenges. Host Andy Mayer sits down with David Turver, Independent Energy Analyst and Author of the Eigen Values SubStack, to unpack the government's controversial green hydrogen strategy. In this first episode, Trevor explains why green hydrogen costs 7 times more than natural gas and reveals how the government's "gas shipper obligation" could add up to £216 annually to domestic bills while nearly doubling industrial energy costs. Trevor calls the plan "a crime against thermodynamics" and questions why the UK is pursuing an energy strategy abandoned by major oil companies and unviable in free markets. This is the first installment of our series examining energy policies through a free market lens. Subscribe to catch future episodes featuring leading thinkers who challenge conventional wisdom on renewable subsidies, grid reliability, and affordable energy solutions.

From Nudges to Bans: The Dangerous Path of Behavioral Economics | Prof. Mario Rizzo | IEA Live 1:02:19

منذ 19 يومًا1:02:19

1:02:19

In this IEA In Conversation event, Dr. Christopher Snowdon, Head of Lifestyle Economics, hosts Prof. Mario Rizzo of New York University for an incisive examination of behavioural economics and its paternalistic implications. Prof. Rizzo, co-author of the acclaimed "Escaping Paternalism" and co-director of the Classical Liberal Institute at NYU, challenges the fundamental premises of behavioural public policy with sharp precision and intellectual rigor. The lecture delves into the limitations of behavioural economics' approach to policy-making, exploring how context-dependent biases are, why quantifying them accurately is nearly impossible, and how government intervention may inadvertently weaken individuals' capacity for self-regulation. Prof. Rizzo dissects Cass Sunstein's provocative claim that Friedrich Hayek might have approved of some behavioural interventions, revealing the flawed assumptions underlying this hypothesis. Following the lecture, Dr. Snowdon leads a stimulating Q&A session exploring practical applications of these ideas, from pension auto-enrollment to food positioning, organ donation policies, and the reality of slippery slope concerns in regulation. Throughout, Prof. Rizzo offers a compelling case that while acknowledging human fallibility is important, the contextual nature of decision-making and our limited knowledge of individual circumstances make paternalistic interventions fundamentally problematic.

Trump's New Tariff Plan Explained, UK Savings & Wealth Inequality | IEA Podcast 34:53

منذ 22 يومًا34:53

34:53

In this episode of the IEA podcast, host Callum Price, Director of Communications, is joined by Tom Clougherty, Executive Director, and Dr. Kristian Niemietz, Editorial Director, to discuss recent economic developments. The conversation begins with an analysis of former President Trump's newly announced tariff plan, which imposes varying rates from 10% to 46% on different countries, with the UK subject to the minimum 10% rate. The guests examine the formula behind these tariffs and the potential impact on international trade. The podcast then shifts to domestic UK issues, focusing on potential changes to cash ISAs (Individual Savings Accounts) by Chancellor Rachel Reeves. Tom explains the rumored plans to limit how much can be saved in cash ISAs versus stocks and shares, discussing why this interference in consumer choice is problematic despite Britons potentially under-investing in equities. The conversation also addresses wealth inequality in the UK, with Kristian noting that contrary to popular belief, wealth inequality hasn't significantly increased in recent decades. The discussion concludes with Tom challenging the narrative that Britain doesn't tax wealth enough, presenting OECD data showing the UK actually taxes property, inheritance, and capital gains at higher rates than many competitor countries. The guests argue that supply-side reforms rather than redistributive measures are needed to address the UK's growth challenges. We bring you a public affairs podcast with a difference. We want to get beyond the headlines and instead focus on the big ideas and foundational principles that matter to classical liberals. This is a public episode.

Left vs Right: Both Anti-Freedom | Yaron Brook | IEA Interviews 29:38

منذ 23 يومًا29:38

29:38

In this IEA briefing, Communications Manager Reem Ibrahim sits down with Yaron Brook, Chairman of the Ayn Rand Institute, to discuss free trade and its economic importance. Brook criticises President Trump's tariff policies, explaining how they contradict fundamental principles of economic freedom. He argues that trade barriers make Americans poorer by restricting individual rights to voluntary exchange and dismisses the notion that "Freedom Day" has anything to do with actual freedom. The conversation explores the theoretical foundations of free trade, examining how specialisation and comparative advantage create wealth. Brook emphasises that voluntary trade is always win-win and criticises political interests that lobby for protectionist policies. The discussion turns to UK trade policy post-Brexit, with Brook suggesting Britain missed an opportunity to become a model for global free trade by maintaining EU regulations while pursuing limited trade agreements. In the final segment, Brook introduces viewers to Objectivism, Ayn Rand's philosophical system. He outlines its comprehensive approach to values, explaining how it promotes individual liberty grounded in a morality of rational self-interest. Brook describes Objectivism's view of government as limited to protecting individual rights through police, military, and judiciary functions while leaving people free to pursue their own values without interference.

Analysis: What the Chancellor SHOULD Have Done 6:02

منذ 4 weeks6:02

6:02

IEA Executive Director Tom Clougherty analyses Chancellor Rachel Reeves's Spring Budget statement of March 26, 2025. With economic forecasts worsening since October, the government's fiscal headroom has disappeared, leading to cuts in welfare and departmental spending alongside another effort to tackle tax avoidance. The budget appears to be an exercise in meeting minimum fiscal targets rather than addressing fundamental economic issues. Clougherty criticises how fiscal events have become focused on gaming OBR forecasts five years out rather than implementing principled long-term policymaking. Growth forecasts have been halved to just 1% for 2025, with lacklustre projections through the forecast window. He notes that 2024 and 2025 are essentially "lost years" in terms of per capita economic growth, with productivity improvements still being anticipated despite failing to materialise since the financial crisis. While the Chancellor's rhetoric around pro-growth policies is promising, Clougherty questions whether the substance matches the vision. He argues that a more radical approach to supply-side liberalisation is needed, pointing out that if minor planning reforms can boost GDP by 0.2% at no fiscal cost, more comprehensive reforms across planning, financial regulation, and energy could deliver significantly greater growth benefits that the UK economy desperately needs.

Time for a New Economic Measurement? IEA Briefing 16:59

منذ 5 weeks16:59

16:59

Download the full paper here: https://iea.org.uk/publications/44943/ In this new IEA Briefing, Communications Manager Reem Ibrahim sits down with independent economist Damian Pudner to discuss the new IEA paper "Rethinking Monetary Policy." Pudner explains why the Bank of England's current 2% inflation targeting system fails to provide a balanced approach during supply shocks like the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing interest rate hikes that exacerbated the cost of living crisis while hampering economic growth and recovery. Pudner presents a compelling alternative: nominal GDP targeting, which would require the Bank of England to consider both inflation and economic growth simultaneously. This more holistic approach could prevent unnecessary interest rate increases during supply shocks, giving businesses more stability and breathing room to invest and recover. Using examples like Scott Sumner's nominal GDP futures contracts, Pudner outlines practical implementation methods that align with free market principles while potentially delivering the current government's "growth, growth, growth" mission. With historical context showing that monetary policy regimes typically evolve over time, Pudner argues the Bank of England has an opportunity to lead monetary innovation as it did in the early 1990s with inflation targeting. Discover why this shift could create a more stable macroeconomic environment and how it might reshape Britain's economic landscape.
