The IEA Book Club will be hosting an upcoming event with Sam Freedman on his latest book, “Failed State”. This event will take place on Monday 10th February from 18:00 – 20:30 at the IEA Westminster offices. Tom Clougherty (Executive Director and Ralph Harris Fellow) will chair this event.
In Failed State, Sam Freedman, one of Britain’s leading policy experts, offers a devastating analysis of where we’ve gone wrong. With historical depth and plenty of infuriating examples, he explains why British governance has fallen so far behind.

The result is a witty, landmark book that paves the way for a fairer and more prosperous Britain.
