We are delighted to invite you to an upcoming IEA panel discussion, ‘Not Invented Here’.
Why do single-issue campaigners object to pragmatic solutions to the issues that concern them? The Institute of Economic Affairs’s Not Invented Here series on Insider has discussed six major problems – malnutrition, smoking, obesity, alcohol-related harm, climate change and housing costs – for which there are highly effective solutions which encounter fierce resistance from the people who should most welcome them.
Why do people remain wedded to their institutional preference when a better alternative comes along? Are their motives financial or ideological? And what can be done about it?
Join us to discuss on Wednesday 12th March from 18:00 – 20:30 at the IEA (2 Lord North Street, Westminster, London, SW1P 3LB).
Chaired by Reem Ibrahim (Communications Manager at the Institute of Economic Affairs), panellists include Zion Lights (Science Commentator); Julian Braithwaite (CEO at the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking); Jack Rankin MP (Member of Parliament for Windsor); and Christopher Snowdon (Head of Lifestyle Economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs).
The discussion starts at 18:30 and will be preceded by drinks from 18:00. Spaces are limited and will be given on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to [email protected] or call 020 7799 8910.
Full details are below, for reference.
