Unlike Angus Burgin's efforts to Americanize and individualize transnational Mont Pèlerin history, Plickert keeps the "neo" of neoliberalism firmly in focus: the organized effort to think at some distance from both traditional laissez-faire and collectivism or socialism. … Plickert (2008, 462) alerts his readers to the strategic dimensions of the neoliberal intellectual program from the Colloque Walter Lippmann onward, to the different wings struggling within the project, and, significantly, to the eventual founding of the competing Property and Freedom Society in 2006, modeled after the Mont Pèlerin Society.
