Liberty Movement
Liberty Movement (in Spanish: Movimiento Libertad) has been a political party in Peru. It was founded in 1987 by groups opposing the nationalization of the banking sector in 1986. Instead it advocated a free market approach to solving Peru's hyperinflation, which peaked at over 7000%.
