LIBERTY: Ours for the Taking!

07/22/2007Roderick T. Long

Benjamin Tucker’s journal Liberty was the foremost organ of 19th-century American individualist anarchism, and a major influence on Murray Rothbard and modern libertarianism; contributors to Liberty included such prominent free-market luminaries as Lysander Spooner, Auberon Herbert, and Vilfredo Pareto. (For background, see articles by Wendy McElroy and Carl Watner.)

Regrettably, copies of Liberty have been damnably hard to find – until now. The amazing Shawn Wilbur has just finished posting the entire run of Liberty in PDF form on his website. Details here.

The interface is bare-bones at the moment, but Shawn has plans for text-search capacity and other cool stuff.

As he urges: “download, download, download!” to ensure that “there is never again any question of Liberty not being available.”

Daniel Ellsberg Was Right. So Are Assange and Snowden.

Ryan McMaken

Today's pundits have created the myth that Ellsberg was a "good" leaker and Assange et al. are "bad" leakers. It's a myth designed to portray modern-day heroic whistleblowers as "traitors."
