The Adam Smith Institute's new series of events, Enlightenment Evenings, where our Chairman James Lawson interviews brilliant authors, academics and wonks on fascinating topics stirring up the Westminster scene.

​You might have seen us discussing it on LBC, BBC Politics Live and the Jeremy Vine show this week, or read about it in the Telegraph.

We’re starting the series with our own Director of Research Maxwell to talk about our new knockout paper on private schools, Short Term Thinking - analysing the effect of applying VAT to school fees.
