	Mont Pelerin Society - Biocrawler
		The society advocates free market economic policies and the political values of an "open society." The Mont Pelerin Society was created on April 10, 1947 at a conference organized by Friedrich Hayek and convened at a Swiss mountain resort after which the society was named.
		Hayek stressed that the society was to be a scholarly community arguing against "collectivism", while not engaging in public relations or propaganda.
		However, the society has always been a focal point for the international capitalist think-tank movement: Hayek himself used it as a forum to encourage members such as Antony Fisher to pursue the think-tank route.

	Comment on Professor Bouckaert’s Paper, Meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society, London, October 2002 by Ralph Raico
		The Mont Pèlerin Society, founded by F. Hayek, is an international organization of classical liberal academics and others.
		In October of this year it met in London, and the conference included a panel discussion on "The Importance of History" for the free society.
		This yielded an analysis both of historical developments and of the society of their time that permits us to go beyond the superficial rhetoric of a pseudo-liberalism that is strategically employed even today by various leaders and groups in their own "sinister interest."

		The event happened, not at the opening meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society in 1947, but in the mid-1950s, as the Chicago School was gaining dominance over the free-market movement, and the Mont Pelerin Society was falling under their sway.
		At the Mont Pelerin Society meeting where the famed blowup occurred, several economists were debating how to structure the tax system so the government could collect the most revenue while not distorting the operation of the free market.
		Since society itself is nothing more than the coming together of millions upon millions of individual choices, we can say, from Mises’s perspective, that the kind of society we live in is a product of human choice.
