Harold Wincott

Harold Edward Wincott (13 September 1906 - 5 March 1969) was an editor of the Investor's Chronicle and a contributor to the Financial Times. He also wrote for the Institute of Economic Affairs. After his death, the director of the Institute of Economic Affairs Ralph Harris set up The Wincott Foundation in his honour, ostensibly for 'the encouragement and promotion of the highest standards in economic and financial journalism', but in reality it would form part of the network of organisations promoting neoliberalism; an economic model intended to expand corporate power and roll back the democratic achievements of the post-war era.
