The Geneva IUHEI sheltered exiled liberal economists fleeing interwar fascism
Evidence
Another interwar institution that provided an organizational haven for concerned and committed liberals was established in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1927 the Institut Universitaire des Hautes Études Internationales (IUHEI) was launched by William E. Rappard and Paul Mantoux and provided a refuge for Frank D. Graham, Theodore Gregory, Ludwig von Mises, Wilhelm Röpke, Jacob Viner, and a host of others. The most famous representative of the Italian coterie of neoliberals, Luigi Einaudi, fled in 1943 from the fascists to Switzerland, where he was supported at the IUHEI by Rappard (Walpen 2000). — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 104
