Similar sentiments were expressed at other comparable conclaves. For instance, John MacCallum Scott proposed to the 1956 meetings of the Liberal International, "Liberty, too, must be limited in order to be possessed"; the British economist Arthur Shenfield pronounced in a speech to the 1954 MPS conference, "It does no service either to liberalism or to democracy to assume that democracy is necessarily liberal or liberalism is necessarily democratic." Thenceforth, for neoliberals, "freedom" would have to change its connotations.
