Sobre a vida e o legado de Arthur Seldon, vale a pena recordar também este texto de Simon Heffer publicado em 2006:The man who took on socialism – and won
Seldon died last autumn, 48 years after he, Ralph Harris and Antony Fisher founded the Institute of Economic Affairs as a reaction against the socialist, welfarist climate prevailing across British politics. Seldon and Lord Harris, as the theoretical economists, then did more to ensure that Britain could be rescued from its post-war economic decline than almost anyone else.
They encouraged debate about free-market, liberal solutions to economic problems in a way not seen in Britain since the 19th century. They also did more to enlighten thinkers and governments around the world on how to secure freedom and prosperity than any Briton since Adam Smith. It is sadly typical that many people, even in a governing class that likes to claim credit for such material success as this country enjoys, are either ignorant of these massive achievements, or take them for granted.
