The IEA Book Club is thrilled to host an In Conversation with renown economist Daniel Lacalle, who will be discussing his latest book “Freedom or Equality: The Key to Prosperity Through Social Capitalism”. The discussion will be chaired by former Conservative MEP for South East England, and President of the Initiative for Free Trade, Dan Hannan.

Capitalism offers greater prosperity and opportunity for everyone, however it is quickly falling out of favor with the middle class in the Western world.

The next decades will present numerous challenges: exponentially accelerating technology and use of robots, an ageing population, repressive taxation, and the sustainability of education and health care costs—to name just a few. “Freedom or Equality” addresses those challenges while presenting a fresh examination of Social Capitalism—a moderate option between extreme solutions of all sorts that can deliver superior growth and prosperity worldwide.
