Introducing The Liberty Digital Collection Released by Madwell

But Fiorello LaGuardia, in "The Inside on the Banking Investigations" in Liberty On Wall Street, sounds distinctly modern - almost like a member of Occupy Wall Street. He rails against mortgage-backed securities and bank bailouts, and advocates for the Glass-Steagall Act.

Other articles offer timeless, sage advice. H. L. Mencken, in "How to Drink Like a Gentleman" in Liberty On Drinking, says: "To drink hard liquor before wine is as barbarous as going to church in a bathing suit."

"Some of the things that make us laugh and cry, some of the problems that challenge our society, are perennial. Debates about how to regulate the financial system, about sexual morality and women's rights, about what it means to be a great ball-player...I'm not sure they'll ever truly be settled," says Robert Whiteman, President of the Liberty Library Corporation and the man solely responsible for meticulously archiving, preserving, and protecting the content of the once world famous Liberty Magazine. "The lens of history is a wonderful way to keep track of our evolution, to understand where we've advanced and where we've been set back. Hopefully this collection can help provide a perspective on our present we might otherwise have lost for good. "

The collection is available on Amazon.com and LibertyMagazine.com.
