Books by Ralph Harris

From the mid 1950s to the late 1980s, Ralph Harris and Arthur Seldon, as general director and editorial director respectively of the IEA, battled against a conventional wisdom which was hostile to markets. Eventually, by force of argument, they overcame much of the resistance to market ideas, and in the process established the Institute's formidable influence in shaping both opinion and policy. Christopher Snowdon is an author and freelance journalist based in the UK. He writes for Spiked and other publications. He is particularly known as a vocal opponent of Government intervention in matters such as alcohol and obesity. He is a research fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs.
