Our Story

Born from nearly 50 years of the Adam Smith Institute's policy work, Adam Smith Insights practices "micropolitics", realigning stakeholder incentives to unlock policy change.​

Our Heritage​

In 1988, founder of the Adam Smith Institute, Dr Madsen Pirie published Micropolitics, showing how ideas move from think tanks to government to law.

Our Edge

​Unlike standard pollsters, we combine rigorous opinion research with a deep grasp of what is economically and ​politically feasible.

Our Practice Today

​We apply the Micropolitics framework to our polling and consulting — linking public support to policy design, messaging, and adoption.
