"for decades now and from different locations, have been promoting a culture war to impose the ideals of freedom, as they would phrase it. This is no conspiracy, nor a secret plot, but rather the confluence of civil organizations, foundations and universities dedicated to recruiting and training young people, hosting lectures, financing projects, publishing books and magazines, and establishing a presence in mass media and virtual arenas."
"Foundation for Economic Freedom, the Mont Pelerin Society, the Cato Institute, the Atlas Network, the Mises Institute and the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) are a few of the movement's most notorious entities, and were founded in Europe and North America. Their model was replicated and exported for the formation of Argentina's Centro de Estudios para la Libertad (Research Center for Freedom) and Brazil's Instituto de Estudos Empresariais (Institute of Business Studies), among many other entities."
There is a transnational network of civil organizations, foundations, universities and think tanks that for decades has promoted libertarian principles: free markets, minimal state, individual development, and private property. These organizations recruit and train young people, host lectures, finance projects, publish media, and build presence in traditional and virtual mass media. Prominent entities include the Foundation for Economic Freedom, Mont Pelerin Society, Cato Institute, Atlas Network, Mises Institute and CPAC. Their model was replicated in Latin America by centers like Argentina’s Centro de Estudios para la Libertad and Brazil’s Instituto de Estudos Empresariais. The rise of Javier Milei and candidates like Johannes Kaiser increased visibility of these networks.
