The World After the Pandemic - Hayek Lecture 2020

The Institute of Economic Affair's Hayek Memorial Lecture has been one of the highlights of the IEA calendar since 1988…and we didn’t want to let the pandemic stand in the way of this marquee event!

So this year we’ll be mounting a VIRTUAL Hayek Lecture!

Acclaimed author and historian – and the IEA’s Head of Education – Dr. Stephen Davies will deliver the lecture here on our YouTube channel at 6pm on Thursday December 17th.

Dr. Davies, who has presented some of our most watched films of the year, will analyse the global and domestic response to the coronavirus outbreak and reflect on the lessons we can learn from history as he discusses ‘The World after the Pandemic’.

Stephen was previously program officer at the Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason University in Virginia. Before that he was Senior Lecturer in the Department of History and Economic History at Manchester Metropolitan University and he’s also been a Visiting Scholar at the Social Philosophy and Policy Center at Bowling Green State University, Ohio.
