Monty Pelerin

Contributor

The name Monty Pelerin is a pseudonym derived from the Mont Pelerin Society founded by Friedrich Hayek after WWII. Hayek saw a need for a forum for like-minded individuals who believed in Classical Liberalism. At the time, government planning and control dominated economic and political thought. The Mont Pelerin Society was composed of friends of freedom from around the world. Ludwig von Mises and Milton Friedman were original members. More information on Mont Pelerin can be obtained from my site or the internet. I have no connection with the Society other than a coincidence of philosophy. I use Friedrich Hayek as an gravatar in honor of his enormous contributions to classical liberalism. Additional information is available on my website at www.economicnoise.com
