It is hosted by the Hayek Programme in Economics and Liberal Political Economy at the London School of Economics and Political Science. The speaker is Jordan K Lofthouse, a Senior Research Fellow with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and Senior Fellow with the F. A. Hayek Program, who researches environmental issues using the Austrian, Virginia, and Bloomington schools of political economy.
