Liberty in the Academic Journals

Keeping up with new articles in the academic journals can be difficult. Especially for those of us with an interdisciplinary interest in liberty, it often feels like there are just too many journals to keep up with.

But a new project from Liberty Fund might help. Their recently launched Liberty Review provides helpful summaries of new liberty-related research in journals from a variety of different disciplines. Go there now, and you can find short summaries of

  • “James Buchanan’s Contractarianism and Modern Liberalism”
  • “Was Montesquieu a Liberal Republican?”
  • “The King’s Pirates? Naval Enforcement of Imperial Authority, 1740-76”
  • and our own Bas van der Vossen’s “Imposing Duties and Original Appropriation”

among many others.

Liberty Review will also publish a print issue twice per year, which will include a selection of the blog entries, a list of book notes, and commissioned literature reviews. The first print issue will appear in the summer of 2014.

We have Liberty Fund to thank for a number of terrific projects, including such well-known favorites as EconTalk and the Online Library of Liberty, and lesser known but still excellent projects such as the Online Library of Law and Liberty and (one of my recent favorites) Liberty Matters. Liberty Review looks to be an excellent addition to an already stellar lineup of online resources.
