In the latest episode of the IEA Podcast, IEA Communications and Public Affairs Officer Kieran Neild-Ali sat down with IEA Head of Political Economy Dr Kristian Niemietz to discuss the labour theory of value.

The theory has since been unravelled and replaced in the last century by a different theory produced by the Austrian School of economics.
