Mont Pelerin Society

The Mont Pelerin Society is an international organization founded in 1947 by economists, philosophers, and scholars who support classical liberal ideas—emphasizing free markets, individual liberty, limited government, and economic freedom. Its members gather to discuss and promote policies that foster economic liberty and oppose collectivist or interventionist approaches. Named after the Swiss resort Mont Pelerin where it was established, the society serves as a platform for intellectual exchange and the advancement of free-market principles, influencing economic thought and policy worldwide.
