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!

The Frankfurt School & the culture war

In the latest episode of the IEA Podcast, Head of Cultural Affairs, Marc Glendening, discussed the Frankfurt School- giving listeners a beginner's guide to an important canon of thought which has greatly influenced the culture war we see today.
They explain the importance of the Frankfurter's influence on shifting Marxists away from classical Marxism to a holistic study of society and capitalism in the form of Critical Theory which argued capitalism doesn't just oppress people economically, but through culture.
The ideas of the Frankfurt School meant Marxist revolutionaries would no longer work towards a single, violent uprising of the working class, but would start a slow take-over of society’s key cultural and political institutions from the inside by elite-level activists.
