Some Mont Pèlerin members openly rejected majority-rule democracy in private

Evidence

Let’s be clear, I don’t believe in democracy in one sense. You don’t believe in democracy. Nobody believes in democracy. You will find it hard to find anybody who will say that if, that is democracy interpreted as majority rule. You will find it hard to find anybody who will say that at 55% of the people believe the other 45% of the people should be shot. That’s an appropriate exercise of democracy… . What I believe is not a democracy but an individual freedom in a society in which individuals cooperate with one another. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 2147
