Amagi Books

Amagi Books is an imprint that brings the best of classical liberal economic and political theory of the past 100 years to life for today's college students.

Amagi Means Liberty

The cuneiform inscription for which this new imprint is named also serves as a design element in all Liberty Fund books. It is the earliest-known written appearance of the word "freedom" (amagi), or "liberty." It is taken from a clay document written about 2300 B.C. in the Sumerian city-state of Lagash.

Passing on Liberty Fund's Riches to a New Generation

Drawing from the Liberty Fund tradition of republishing classical liberal texts, the Amagi imprint includes works that are not considered classics, yet are important to the understanding of a society of free and responsible individuals. Amagi books will appear in affordable flexcase paperbacks with reader-friendly typefaces, handsome page layouts, and modern yet classic cover designs. Amagi authors include:

The Finest Scholarship and Editorial Excellence

The editorial board of Amagi is composed of such world-renowned scholars as Hartmut Kliemt, Kenneth Minogue, and Chandran Kukathas, all of whom will rely on experts around the world to serve as critical readers.

Making the Classics Accessible to Students

Amagi will feature books that draw the reader in with an assortment of learning tools, such as timelines, further reading lists, brief biographies of the authors, and, as usual with Liberty Fund books, no interpretive matter to come between the text and reader.
