A minor classic from the late 1980s, this favourite from the IEA’s back catalogue offers timeless insight.
Do ideas affect policies, and how? This is the subject addressed by six scholars spanning economics, history and political science. As governments increasingly embrace market reforms, an important question is how this transformation has come about.
Ideas, Interests and Consequences explores these themes and seeks to identify the forces that change political attitudes and policy.
