The Mt. Pelerin Society

In the handsome arcaded city of Turin, the Mt. Pelerin Society held its twelfth international meeting early in September. Founded fifteen years ago by Professor F. A. Hayek and other champions of a free economy, the Society is an association of economists, sociologists, men of affairs, professors of politics, and serious writers who agree in their detestation of the total state. Usually the Society meets once a year —in recent years, at St. Moritz, Oxford, Princeton, and other pleasant places on either side of the Atlantic. Without any sort of governmental sponsorship or subvention, the Mt. Pelerin Society annually accomplishes more seminal discussion of economic and political problems than the agencies of the United Nations have managed to stimulate since their foundation.
