IEA research featured in The Critic
The Experience of Free Banking, a new book released by the IEA reviewing the system of free banking and its influence on the economy, has been featured in The Critic.

“The case studies in The Experience of Free Banking show that free banking worked remarkably well across a diverse array of different countries over different periods.”
