The CIRL gathered rival liberal factions into one organization

Evidence

In the context of an economic and political crisis, neoliberalism unexpectedly rallied together people who had previously seemed to be irreconcilable. Founded in 1939 after the Colloque Lippmann, the Centre international d’études pour la rénovation du libéralisme brought together classical liberals, neoliberals, corporatists, and disabused planning advocates. — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 282
