The Online Library of Liberty

One of the greatest scholarly resources on classical liberal and free-market thinking, the Liberty Fund's Online Library of Liberty, has been redesigned. Its purpose: "to provide thousands of titles about individual liberty, limited constitutional government, and the free market, free of charge to the public, for educational purposes."

The author list of its amazing set of full-content books, often available in both HTML and either or both regular .pdf or fascimile edition .pdf, stretches from H.B. Acton to Huldrych Zwingli, and in the middle among the "m"s alone dozens more including Lord Macauley, Moses Maimonides, John Marshall, Carl Menger, Kenneth Minogue, Ludwig von Mises, and Gouverneur Morris.

And it's all fully searchable. A fabulous resource to scholars and historians and just plain readers, to be sure.

My own contribution to contemporary libertarian history, Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement.

Looks groovy. I love this kinda thing-Helps make scholarship even more enjoyable. And it sports the classic (very classic) Sumerian symbol for liberty.

...the Marxist principle of distributing misery

At best, a socialist is someone who has nothing and wants to share it with you.

Between Liberty Fund's and the Mises Institute's Web sites, just about every libertarian classic is now online, free of charge.

Well, except for Radicals for Capitalism: A Freewheeling History of the Modern American Libertarian Movement, of course. (I kid, I kid.)
