Open Source economics

This announcement is very cool:

I am pleased to announce that the entire Mises.org website is going open source. We are releasing everything you need to run a complete copy of Mises.org. This includes all the books, all the media, all the journals, all the source code, and the complete database behind mises.org.

This is not a one time release – I have created a public repository so you can get the latest version of everything as soon it hits the site.

Nice to see IP opponents continuing to put their material where their mouths are. And what a fantastic resource! I’d encourage everyone who subscribes to the Austrian school to consider hosting a prominently displayed book or two on their blog. I plan to make a few downloads available here, starting with Thomas C. Taylors’s Introduction to Austrian Economics, and, of course, Murray Rothbard’s America’s Great Depression.
