The IEA is delighted to invite you to a discussion of migration controls and whether any form of limit or barrier is compatible with a free society. With Brexit, the refugee crisis, and the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency all looming, it should be a fascinating and timely discussion.

The event will coincide with a significant new IEA publication by renowned political economist Philippe Legrain.

To RSVP, please email events@iea.org.uk or fill in the below form.
