We were first allowed to trade with the person next to us, then with everyone in the room. Ralph polled everyone as being happier after trading, demonstrating the benefits of free trade on any scale. We also had sessions on the automation of jobs and UK politics.

Christopher Snowdown, IEA Head of Lifestyle Economics, presented on \u2018junk statistics,\u2019 challenging the way we view and engage with the material produced by modern day media. His underlying sentiments boiled down to the importance of reading news with a sense of perspective, acknowledging that news producers are constantly pursuing ways of framing evidentiary and quotation content to increase their coverage and reach.<\/p><p>Tuesday\u2019s series of seminars were terrific, but Wednesday\u2019s activities were certainly the highlight of the week. Dr. Steve Davies, Head of Education, gave a crash course introduction to understanding economics on Wednesday. Steve explained that, despite popular belief, economics is not a science. Rather, it is more of a philosophy that could be used to explain human phenomena. As the rain had died down, we embarked on a Westminster treasure hunt. We were divided into groups and given clues that lead us to various locations throughout Westminster and surrounding suburbs. Finally, we were honoured to have Mark Littlewood, Director General of the IEA, led a workshop on how to win an argument. From his years of debating experience, his advice to us was to use humour, focus on three points, do not attack the individual and use statistics in a personal way.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d131bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0d131bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo2020-1-2020112048200120am-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-15391\" alt=\"Smiling person in red jacket with arms raised in front of Buckingham Palace, London\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo2020-1-2020112048200120am-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo2020-1-2020112048200120am-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo2020-1-2020112048200120am-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo2020-1-2020112048200120am-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo2020-1-2020112048200120am-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo2020-1-2020112048200120am-1280x960.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo2020-1-2020112048200120am-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo2020-1-2020112048200120am-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mannkal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/photo2020-1-2020112048200120am-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-adb0d87 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"adb0d87\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On Thursday, we had a chance to put those techniques into practise.

We returned to the IEA to engage in some light-hearted final activities and ended the week with Ralph and other staff the British way \u2013 pints at the local pub.
