Welcome to the IEA Podcast. The Institute of Economic Affairs is the UK’s original free market think tank, founded in 1955. Our mission is to improve understanding of the fundamental institutions of a free society by analysing and expounding the role of markets in solving economic and social problems. Given the current economic challenges facing Britain and the wider global environment, it is more vital than ever that we promote the intellectual case for a free economy, low taxes, freedom in education, health and welfare and lower levels of regulation. We hope you enjoy listening!

2021 Party conference round-up
Friday Oct 08, 2021
Friday Oct 08, 2021
Over the past two weeks, the two major political parties of the UK have held their annual conferences, giving voters a chance to see what they stand for, their policy ambitions and assess the character of their leaders.
But are party conferences as important as they used to be? Polling suggests that both Labour and the Conservatives have not moved in the polls, remaining as they were before conference season. The Tories appear to have gained more media coverage than Labour, but is that good or bad?
To find out the current state of the political landscape, what our major parties stand for and to get down into the nitty-gritty of the last few weeks, giving you a round-up of both conferences, Kieran Neild-Ali, IEA Communications and Marketing Assistant, was joined by IEA Chief Operating Officer Andy Mayer, who attended Labour conference for the IEA, and Duncan Simpson, Research Director at the TaxPayers’ Alliance, who attended the Conservative’s conference in Manchester.
