"The state is too big, taxes are too high, and government spends far too much of your money badly."
Mark Littlewood is an economist, politician and former director of the Institute of Economic Affairs. He is a regular fixture of UK political media defending free market and laissez-faire approaches to managing the economy.
Littlewood began his career with the Liberal Democrats, where he was the Head of Media. During the coalition government, he then became the director of Liberal Vision, a classical liberal group within the Liberal Democrats, before taking up his role at the IEA. He was listed as the 38th most influential person on the British right in 2018.
"Mark Littlewood has transformed the Institute of Economic Affairs from a dusty old relic into the most influential think tank in British politics.” — The Guardian
