Liberty Matters: Arthur Seldon and the IEA (November, 2013)

This online discussion addresses the contribution of Arthur Seldon ((1916-2005) to the success of the London based Institute of Economic Affairs in spreading free market ideas in Britain. Much of its success can be attributed to Seldon’s rigorous editing of material from technical economic language into jargon free prose, readable by any educated person. In addition, Seldon’s vision was to secure the IEA a place midway between academia and the production of actual government policies.
