Library of Economics and Liberty

The Library of Economics and Liberty (Econlib) is a free online library of economics books and articles and is sponsored by Liberty Fund, a non-profit organization. It supplies educational resources of economic thought and has been online since February 1999.

Content

Econlib hosts several different resources including daily, weekly, and monthly articles, podcasts, and blog items, all by economists. Their archives include over 100 economics books and essays. Reader participation, discussion, and debate about economics are encouraged via the blogs and podcasts.

Commonly-used resources include the "Concise Encyclopedia of Economics" (CEE) and a copy of Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations". The CEE includes articles and biographies on hundreds of topics written by Ph.D. economists. The CEE is the online edition of the 1993 "Fortune Encyclopedia of Economics".

Authors

Classic republished books and essays on Econlib focus on renowned and respected works, including those by Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Thomas Malthus, John Stuart Mill, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, John Bates Clark, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Karl Marx, and Friedrich List. Books by Nobel laureates such as James M. Buchanan that are still under copyright elsewhere are also available on Econlib.

atellite Resources

Subsidiaries of Econlib include:
* EconLog, an economics blog ongoing since 2003, with Ph.D. economists Arnold Kling and Bryan Caplan.
* EconTalk, a continuing series of award-winning podcasts begun in March 2006 with host Russ Roberts of George Mason University. Topics cover the economics of sports, law and economics, immigration, health care, natural resources, free trade, and others.

Audience

Most Econlib site resources are oriented toward students and teachers in college, late high school, or early graduate school, with a focus on economics. Links to famous passages from syllabi and library reading rooms are available for classroom, syllabi, and general use. Printable formats are available for non-copyright items.

Oversight

Econlib is supervised by Ph.D. economists who serve as editors and overseers. They have wide-ranging interests in the fields covered by academic economics, including microeconomics, macroeconomics, international economics, finance, the theory of markets, government and public choice, and the history of economic thought. Econlib articles are written by Ph.D. economists and professors, with occasional invited contributions on topics in the news written by non-academic experts.
