Scaling the Heights: Thought Leadership, Liberal Values and the History of the Mont Pelerin Society

For three quarters of a century, the Mont Pelerin Society has played a crucial role in the battle of ideas - expanding and deepening liberal philosophy and spreading liberal thought around the world. Eamonn Butler tracks its formation in the wake of World War II, explores its many internal debates about how 'activist' it should become and explains how it has come to provide a unique forum for debate, discussion, study and self-education. But, above all, he celebrates a Society thathas remained unwaveringly true to its initial vision: to bring together individuals who seek to defend, support and promote liberal values - and to keep the intellectual flame of liberalism burning brightly across the globe.
