Econolex Beesley Lectures 2018 | Marketforce Business Media Ltd | 3 October 2018 | Institute of Directors, London, 116 Pall Mall, London SW1Y 5ED, UK

Now in their twenty-seventh year, The Beesley Lectures were founded by Professor Michael Beesley, one of the most influential regulatory economists of his time. Held in partnership with the Institute of Economic Affairs and the Centre for Competition and Regulatory Policy at City, University of London, the series attracts the foremost thinkers in government, industry and academia. The lectures cover the latest developments in energy, water, transport, telecoms and banking regulation as well as competition policy. This year’s series comes at a time of a changing political climate, with the prospect of Brexit, a more interventionist Government and an opposition proposing a return to public ownership for many industries.
