About Liberty

Liberty was founded by R.W. Bradford in 1987 as a national journal of libertarian opinion, news, investigation, and intellectual exploration. For nearly two decades, Liberty has exemplified the richness and range of classical liberal writing. It has published the leading figures of libertarian economic, political, historical, and literary thought.

Liberty is not just current events. It opens its columns to whatever is exciting, charming, or engaging in every field, from poetry and fiction to politics and philosophy — and the cartoons of Scott Chambers and "Baloo."

Liberty is impatient with boundaries and unafraid of controversy. It takes no party line. In every issue you can expect to see reflections, reviews, and reporting that challenge the individual mind.
