Lamp of Liberty

LOL Market.jpg

My friend Jonathan Rauch has published in the National Journal an essay on the Lamp of Liberty, the Arabic libertarian web site, “In Arabic, ‘Internet’ Means ‘Freedom’.” (I suspect that the essay will only be available for a limited time without a National Journal subscription, so read it now…..)

UPDATE: If the link to National Journal expires (which it will), the piece is now available on Reason.com (and won’t expire there).

FURTHER UPDATE: I’ve been thinking about the collaborative work that has gone into this effort. Most must remain anonymous, for obvious reasons. But I should mention one who was a friend and who gave useful advice and encouragement: Ron St. John. Ron died last year in Amman, where he was working with the Iraqi Reconciliation Project of the United Nations. I wish that he had lived to see what we have done with the Lamp of Liberty.

  1. I am Arab and I am very happy for this. We need freedoms. We need justice. We need democracy. We need peace. We need capitalism. We need knowledge. Thank you!
