who described liberalism as the first 'modern ideology', also reflected on what he argued was the second – nationalism – in his 1967 book of the same name. As far as Minogue was concerned, if the liberal view of history tended to the ahistorical, then nationalist ideology was guilty of reducing it to mythology. In 1986 Minogue presented a six-part television program on Channel 4 about free-market economics called The New Enlightenment. He was Senior Research Fellow with the Social Affairs Unit in London. He wrote a study on Maori–Pākehā relations (the latter is the Maori term for New Zealanders of European descent) for the New Zealand Business Roundtable which was published in 1998 as Waitangi Morality Reality. From 1991 to 1993 Minogue was chairman of the euro-sceptic Bruges Group. From 2000, he was a trustee of Civitas. He served as President of the Mont Pelerin Society from 2010. In 2003, he received the Centenary Medal from the Australian government. He was also involved with the Centre for Policy Studies and the European Foundation. Personal He married firstly, Valerie Pearson Hallett, with whom he had a son and a daughter, in 1954. This marriage was dissolved in 2001. Minogue was later married to Beverly Cohen, who predeceased him. He was reportedly a member of the Garrick Club and a keen tennis fan. Death Minogue died on 28 June 2013, aged 82, in Guayaquil, Guayas Province, Ecuador, after apparently suffering cardiac arrest on a flight returning from San Cristóbal Island in the Galapagos, where he had been hosting a meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society, and was declared dead shortly after his plane landed on the Ecuadorian mainland. On Minogue's legacy, Roger Scruton suggested that Minogue was "no mere academic" but "a model of the conservative activist" because "he was in the business of defending old-fashioned civility against ideological rage, and he believed this was the real meaning of the freedom that the English-speaking peoples have created and enjoyed."
