The Intellectual Portrait Series: A Conversation with Lord Ralph Harris and Arthur Seldon

HarrisSeldon“As leaders of the Institute of Economic Affairs, or IEA, in London for many years, Classical Liberals Ralph Harris and Arthur Seldon pioneered the thoughtful application of free-market principles and greatly influenced public policy and economic thought throughout the world.”

“From the mid 1950s to the late 1980s, Ralph Harris and Arthur Seldon, as general director and editorial director respectively of the IEA, battled against a conventional wisdom which was hostile to markets. Eventually, by force of argument, they overcame much of the resistance to market ideas, and in the process established the Institute's formidable influence in shaping both opinion and policy.”
