The last decade or so has seen a continued assault by the state on economic freedom in the UK, though in ways more subtle than in earlier generations. If this tide is to be turned back, opinion-leaders must wake up to the dangers this poses to all of us and begin to appreciate the importance of freedom in all aspects of our lives. This 'war of ideas' is of vital interest to us all, and the IEA has played a key role in it for many years. |
