Evidence

Röpke saw the National Review’s simultaneous embrace of free markets and social traditionalism as an enactment of the revised liberalism that the found ers of the Mont Pèlerin Society had originally sought to create. … Although he found McCarthy repugnant, Röpke argued that he had been caricatured as a dev il by the “communists and cryptocommunists” in order “to distract us from the true danger,” and that the National Review was right to focus on the latter. — Angus Burgin, The Great Persuasion, 355
