A New Libertarianism.org, a New Podcast, and 100 Excursions
Today's kind of a big deal over at Libertarianism.org.
To start with, the Cato Institute's resource on the theory and history of liberty unveiled a completely new look, one designed from the ground up to work great on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. And we created a new way to browse all of Libertarianism.org's content from within a single, intuitive interface.
We've also launched Libertarianism.org's first podcast, "Free Thoughts." Hosted by Trevor Burrus and me, it's a bi-weekly discussion show about libertarianism and the ideas that influence it. The first episode is on politics and community and the relationship between them. In the coming weeks, we'll have episodes on money and political speech, commodication, Robert Nozick's Anarchy, State, and Utopia, and much more. You can subscribe in iTunes—or via RSS.
Finally, today we published the 100th Excursions essay from George H. Smith. Smith is an authority on libertarian intellectual history and author of the new book The System of Liberty: Themes in the History of Classical Liberalism. Every week for the last two years, Libertarianism.org has published a new essay from Smith. His 100th looks at Adam Smith, standing armies, and competition in education.
It's an exciting day for Libertarianism.org. And we've got much more to come.
