Colloque Walter Lippmann
The Colloque Walter Lippmann is a meeting of intellectuals organized in Paris in August 1938 by French philosopher Louis Rougier. Its aim was to reconstruct the liberal ideas after the 1920s and 1930's that saw a decline in the interest for classical liberalism. The meeting was named after Walter Lippmann, an American journalist whose new book La Cité libre was studied in detail at the meeting and is deemed to be the initiation of "neoliberalism."
The participants chose to set up an organization to promote liberalism but it had few consequences because of the war. Nonetheless, it inspired Friedrich Hayek in the creation of the Mont Pelerin Society.
