POVERTY: Who's to blame?

We're delighted to invite you to our upcoming 2019 Hayek Memorial Lecture with acclaimed US author Professor Bryan Caplan.

Speaker: US author Professor Bryan Caplan.
When: 6.30pm, Tuesday 3rd December
Location: Church House, Westminster

Professor Caplan (whose book The Myth of the Rational Voter was hailed as the ‘best political book of the year’ by the New York Times) will scrutinise the role of governments and assess the impact of their policies on poverty.

If rich countries severely restrict immigration, does that prevent people from poor countries escaping their homeland’s bad economic policies? Do populist policies in poor countries deepen poverty? And where does individual behaviour come into the poverty equation?

These fascinating themes - and more - will be explored in Professor Caplan’s lecture, which takes place on 3rd December at  Church House, Westminster,  starting at  6.30pm. 

Bryan Caplan is Professor of Economics at George Mason University, Virginia. He’s also author of The Case Against Education and Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids. He’s featured in many publications - from the Wall Street Journal to the Washington Post - and appeared on ABC, BBC, Fox News and more. 

Our thanks to CQS for their generous sponsorship of the lecture.
