About the archive
A free, Creative Commons library of Austrian economics and liberty, preserved so these works stay findable and downloadable.
The Liberty Archive is a static archive of the Creative Commons library that David Veksler assembled and open-sourced while serving as webmaster of Mises.org from 2004 to 2014. It holds 983 books, 2,461 journal issues across 17 periodicals, and 3,595 course recordings (2,051 hours).
Why it exists
These are classic works of economics and political thought. Many were hard to find online after the original library was reorganized. The goal here is simple: keep them free, keep them downloadable, and keep them easy to find.
License
The collection is Creative Commons. You are free to read, download, copy, share, and re-host the works. Where an individual work carries its own license terms, those terms govern that work.
Provenance
The files were open-sourced from the Mises.org library between 2009 and 2014. Metadata on each page (title, author, publication details, description) comes from the original library records. Where a record was incomplete, the page says so rather than guessing.
Formats
- Books: PDF, EPUB, MOBI, and HTML where available.
- Journals: PDF.
- Courses: MP3 audio and MP4 or WMV video, streamable or downloadable.
