Evidence

An analysis of these persons in their organizational context within the MPS makes the thesis plausible. Indeed, the key economists involved in the process of propagating floating exchange rates were almost all members of a transnational neoliberal network who debated theories and strategies at the regular MPS meetings and who collaborated closely in popularizing their vision for taming democracy and liberalizing capital. — Dieter Plehwe, Quinn Slobodian & Philip Mirowski (eds.), Nine Lives of Neoliberalism, 446
