Thank you very much to Diego Zuluaga, International Research Fellow at Institute of Economic Affairs, the London think-tank, who came to speak to us this week about the future of China’s economy for our first speaker event of term. Our best essays writers explored this topics in their articles.

Mr. Zuluaga spoke to us about a range of political and economic factors affecting the situation, such as the property-building bubble and the impact of widespread illegal internal migration.

Here are a few photos of the event.

We were delighted to welcome all our new members and especially Sam Bowman, Deputy Director of the Adam Smith Institute, the London think-tank, to address us over drinks at our first event of term; a welcome wine reception for members new and returning.

Sam spoke to use about using market solutions to combat poverty and the principles of Bleeding Heart Libertarianism.
