Who Really Funds the Institute of Economic Affairs?

Is the Institute of Economic Affairs an educational charity promoting market-based solutions to the world’s economic problems? Or is it a right-wing lobbying group pushing Thatcherite ideology?

This week’s guest, Kristian Niemietz, is the Editorial Director at the IEA and a long-time Novara Media hater. Aaron sat down with him to talk about devolution, trickle-down economics and who really funds the IEA.
