No system has raised people out of poverty and given them the freedom to live their lives as they wish like free markets have. In politics today it is usually the poorest people who bear the brunt of the government's worst policies in areas like education, health and welfare. Our mission is to use free markets to end poverty in Britain and around the world. * Low, simple, flat taxes that encourage investment and innovation, and hence economic growth. * A voucher-based education system that gives parents and schools complete freedom over how and where children are educated. * A privately-provided, publicly-funded healthcare system where patient outcomes are the focus. * Freedom of trade with the world and a liberal immigration system that is designed to work for migrants and natives alike. * A liberalised planning system that lets many more houses be built, so everyone can afford to own their own homes. * Free market money and an end to bailouts of private banks, in all their forms. * A simple welfare system based around a Negative Income Tax or Basic Income that tops up the wages of the poor and guarantees that work always pays.

THE NEXT GENERATION CENTRE UPCOMING EVENTS CLICK TO LEARN MORE CELEBRATING HAYEK’S 50TH NOBEL PRIZE ANNIVERSARY This year marks the 50th year anniversary of Friedrich Hayek's Nobel Prize. F.A. Hayek was Chair of our Academic Advisory Board and our co-founder Dr Eamonn Butler received the Hayek Lifetime Achievement Award in 2023. Our Chairman was the President of the Hayek Society at Oxford University, and our Director of Research was President of the Hayek Society at LSE (London School of Economics). Marking the occasion is therefore not just core to our beliefs, it is also very close to our hearts. We strongly believe that Hayek's ideas are as relevant as ever and want the younger generation to have the chance to be inspired by them too. Our project aims to seize the momentum around this anniversary to build awareness about Hayek’s ideas with the new generation: ✍︎ Bring ideas to life: Recording high-quality video material on key ideas (the spontaneous order, the use of information in society, the sensory order) in 2024 to post across our social media platforms (combined following of 125.1k). ✍︎ Republishing two books: ‘Hayek on the Foundation of a Free Society.’ (by our co-founder Dr Eamonn Butler) and ‘Hayek: A Commemorative Album’. ✍︎ Hosting a seminar at the London School of Economics and a reception to celebrate the release of our books on Hayek. ✍︎ Creation of Merchandise. Consider donating to support the promotion of Hayeks ideas! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Donate -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VISIT US Adam Smith Institute 23 Great Smith Street, London Hours Monday–Friday 9am–6pm Contact 02072224995 info@adamsmith.org Media enquiries: 07584 778207 (Call, Text, WhatsApp 24 hour) Sign up to our ASI Bulletin Contact Us Despatches Adam Smith Institute, 23 Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3DJ, United Kingdom 02072224995 info@adamsmith.org Media enquiries: 07584 778207 (Call, Text, WhatsApp 24 hour) × This website uses cookies to improve user experience, complete transactions, and analyse our traffic.
