This past week, Liberty Fund was proud to host the 2026 Mont Pelerin Society Biennial Congress and General Meeting, October 11–15, in Indianapolis, welcoming 500 scholars and speakers from around the world.
Under the theme “1776: Liberty in Conversation,” the gathering explored the enduring principles of liberty, from America's founding and Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations to today's economic, political, and cultural challenges.
As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we were honored to bring this historic gathering to Indianapolis and continue Liberty Fund's longstanding connection with the Mont Pelerin Society.

George F. Will (@GeorgeWill) points out a gap between what the Constitution assumed and what actually happened almost immediately: "parties, it turns out, are natural, like dandelions in suburban lawns. They're just going to happen." The framers built a system for disagreement; they just didn't expect it to organize itself quite so fast.
