The IEA has posted a series of lectures in honour of Professor Michael Beesley, “architect” of the British system of utility regulation. The lectures cover a series of topics of interest to libertarians where the design of policy is non-trivial, where new knowledge might influence the design of policy, and where libertarian ideas might make an impact.
Below, I list the lectures by topic, with date. For the full title of the talk, speaker bios and options to RSVP, click through to the IEA.
All the talks take place at the Institue of Directors on Pall Mall:
