About the IEA

The Institute is a research and educational charity (No. CC 235 351), limited by guarantee. Its mission is to improve understanding of the fundamental institutions of a free society by analysing and expounding the role of markets in solving economic and social problems.

• a high-quality publishing programme
• conferences, seminars, lectures and other events
• outreach to school and college students
• brokering media introductions and appearances

Since 1974 the IEA has helped to create a worldwide network of 100 similar institutions in over 70 countries. They...
