Policy of Liberty

Policy of liberty is dedicated to the advancement of liberty and responsibility in society. Its philosophy is neither strictly libertarian nor strictly conservative, though strongly supporting the former in terms of economics and the latter on most social issues, abortion in particular. POL provides resources, links, books and articles, an email list, photos and links to famous economists, great quotations for liberty.

Policy Profs for Liberty List

Join simply by sending a blank message to join-POL@policyofliberty.net (click here to send the message now) from the email address where you want to receive list postings.

The POL list is an open forum for academic discussion of public policy issues from a classically liberal perspective. The only rules are:

1. No spamming.
2. No flaming or nasty personal remarks. Let's keep the discussion civil please.
3. Do not send posts larger than 75k since the system will reject them.
4. No whining about too many posts. People are free to post as much as they please so long as the subject is related to BOTH (a) public policy and (b) classically liberal thought. People who do not want to read all the posts are free to use their delete key. Participants are asked to be thoughtful in using the subject line effectively and to be parsimonious when quoting previous posts.

List subjects may be anything related to policy and classical liberalism. Examples of some acceptable topics include, market-based regulatory alternatives, property rights, human rights (natural rights), Georgism, allodialism, abortion, theism and the "divine right of kings" doctrine, creationism/Darwinism, Austrian Economics, public choice economics, libertarian theory, anarchism, theonomy, politics and current affairs, gun control, drug laws, reviews of books and articles (or ideas for new ones), and law & economics issues.

All are welcome but the list is predominantly designed for academics, reflective lawyers, and policy professionals. Graduate students may also enroll but are asked to maintain courteous, professional standards when they participate.

A special welcome is extended to home schoolers and Christians (or other religious folks). The list is to be inclusive and not turn away people who have different beliefs or practices than "mainstream" classical liberals.

To post to the list, simply send your message to POL-Profs@PolicyOfLiberty.net
