IEA Podcast

Last week, the IEA released a new book authored by Dr Jamie Whyte, former Research Director at the Institute of Economic Affairs. In his book, Why Free Speech Matters, Jamie issued a rally cry, saying that those who prize free speech must once again defend it. In this week's podcast, IEA Communications & Marketing Assistant Kieran Neild-Ali was joined by Jamie in the IEA studio to discuss his work. He was also joined by Dr Kristian Niemietz, Head of Political Economy at the IEA, who himself is interested in cultural issues related to freedom of speech.

In this episode of The Swift Half with Snowdon, Chris is joined by Baroness Fox of Buckley, better known as Claire Fox. They discuss all things from COVID-19 to House of Lords reform.

Claire recently wrote a chapter called 'Liberty: Beyond Left or Right?' in the IEA's new book 'Having Your Say'. Free speech is considered by both right and left as negotiable or even dispensable when faced with issues such as Covid-19 or Black Lives Matter. In such circumstances our political elites pursue a particular narrative through mainstream and social media and effectively ‘cancel’ those who express opposition or even mild doubt.

Professor Len Shackleton, Editorial & Research Fellow at the IEA, sits down with comedian Leo Kearse to discuss Leo's chapter in the IEA's new book 'Having Your Say'. Leo's chapter focuses on free speech in comedy and explores the area of censorship. You can read Having Your Say here - https://iea.org.uk/publications/havin...

The prevailing mood of political correctness inhibits comedians and makes people ashamed of what they or their parents used to laugh at in the past. While the consensus may be that there have to be some externally imposed limits on comedic speech, we can’t assume that those who police this speech will act reasonably. A healthy society needs to be able to laugh at itself, even if it occasionally hurts.
