THE Mont Pelerin Society (MPS) is organising its 2024 biennial congress and general meeting from September 22-26 in New Delhi, India, with the goal of advancing freedom and prosperity for the next six billion people in the global South.
The event is being hosted by the Centre for Civil Society (CCS), based in Hauz Khas, New Delhi. This marks the third time the MPS is holding its meetings in India. The society previously organised its meetings in Goa in 2002 and in New Delhi in 2011.
The MPS was established in 1947 by anti-socialist economists and business leaders, led by Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman and others, to counter the growing influence of socialist alternatives.
