The Mont Pelerin Society general meeting in Chile, November 13-17, 2000

After World War II, in which many of the values of western civilization were imperiled, 36 scholars, mostly economists, with some historians and philosophers, were invited by Professor Friedrich Hayek to meet at Mont Pelerin, near Montreux, Switzerland, to discuss the state and the possible fate of liberalism in thinking and practice.
