Mont Pelerin Society

The Mont Pelerin Society is a think tank of economists, founded in 1947 (after the WW1 and WW2 ritual) by Friedrich Hayek (related to Ludwig Wittgenstein, London School of Economics), Milton Friedman and Karl Popper in Geneva Switzerland at a gathering of the International Trade Organization.

Hayek was the teacher of JK Galbraith and David Rockefeller (TC).

It played a role in privatization of state owned companies after the fall of communism (Chile, Russia,..).
