Although Feulner reported that MPS was the inspiration for the Philadelphia Society, it was the IEA's tactical and organizational model that Feulner embraced for the Heritage Foundation. In Hayek's vision, MPS was a long-term project: a loose but focused network of individuals dedicated to the development and debate of neoliberal ideas and their advancement in different spheres of society, including academe, the media and the private sector, as well as government. Despite internal disagreements about the extent to which MPS should intervene in a more public way in policy debates, the Society has remained a relatively low-profile organization, albeit with a considerable number of high-profile members. Instead of promoting its agenda via direct participation in the political process, MPS opts for a patient strategy of continually reexamining and renewing neoliberalism in thought and practice (Plehwe, Walpen, and Neunhoffer 2006). … The Heritage Foundation, on the other hand, seeks a more immediate form of influence, paying paramount attention to the marketing of its ideas, chiefly to members of the media in a position to disseminate them, and to public officials, for whom Heritage prepares concise and unsophisticated summaries of key issues that can be digested en route to congressional votes-what Feulner refers to as the organization's "pioneering use of shorter policy papers for busy policy makers" (Feulner 2002, 73).
