    Thought Leadership, Liberal Values and the History of The Mont Pelerin Society

    by Eamonn Butler ...
    The Mont Pelerin Society is an august, admired, yet strangely enigmatic organisation. Perhaps that’s because it holds no official views, formulates no policies and publishes no manifestos.
