Ah even better!
Reassessing the Presidency
I am going to assume it is Laughing Man’s attempt at saving Mises.org some bandwidth. If you look at those two topics I posted earlier, you can also find links such as this:
That is a website posted (and hosted?) by freedom_observer. It is every PDF renamed, and 7zipped into archives by Author. You can also find every single renamed ebook easily on the ED2K network (I share every single one, just search ED2K using “mises.org”).
Do you have Schumpeter’s History of Economic Analysis??
That’s a negative.
How about Reassessing the Presidency??
Right there. Just click on the first link one and click download [ the floppy disk at the top left of Abode ] and it will download to your computer.
That’s correct, the site is also maintained by me.
Pardon me for the lack updates, but maintaining the site is seriously cumbersome as I have to download and parse dozens of files with different scripts.
However, I have now updated the whole archive to reflect the situation as of April, 2010. The server is kinda constrained by disk space, but I may be able to include all the authors with only one book also. But it might not be optimal to compress each of the pdf’s to its own archive. Any thoughts?
Elementary Lessons in Logic
here is my e-mail…
Hmm… I don’t think compressing the authors with one book would be necessary.
I have had the idea to create a program to automatically rename all the PDFs based on their CRC32s and a database file (perhaps just a spreadsheet) which would hold all of the information (Author, Short Title, Long Title, CRC32… any additional info I haven’t considered yet).
I really have to get around to starting/finishing it off. I began it not too long ago, but then found out about Perl, which might be the perfect language for it. Now all I have to do is learn how to program in Perl, learn how to parse spreadsheets, and create an easily usable program that even a computer illiterate person can use.
It would then be much much easier to keep an easily editable spreadsheet updated with the newest files, titles, authors, and CRC32s, and just double clicking the program in order to rename all of the files.
Dear Mr. Cain:
Thank you for this effort.
I would like a copy of the famous book by David Ricardo, “!On the principles of Political Economy and Taxation”.
Please send it to my email : jaimemaya@stanfordalumni.org
Cordially

Hey jaime,
Unfortunately, that book by Ricardo is not available in Mises Literature. But here is a link to several ebook formats of that book. There’s not a PDF, but if you want to ultimately upload this to a Kindle, there’s a kindle format available and an html available if you want to read on the computer.
Hope this helps!
aren’t all of the books they publish free in pdf or ebook formats?
Yes. I have no idea what the purpose of this thread was. If you want a book that Mises has copyright to, you go to the literature section (or even just the main page) and do a search for it. You’ll find the resources page for the book (if it’s available) and there will be a store link, a PDF link, (usually) an HTML link, and on a lot of them, even an epub link.
Although Mises doesn’t have it available, you can view the full text for Ricardo’s book here. (It’s also in public domain…so it would be a good request for LvMI to at least make available in PDF format)
This topic is almost 2 years old. PDF files were not always so out in the open as they are now.
Actually if you could I would like two things from the Mises store that I think aren’t in PDF
Democracy: The God that Failed (Hoppe)
Anarchy and the Law (Stringham)
If someone could get me a PDF to either of those that would be awesome, thanks.
Democracy isn’t under Creative Commons so you have to use some illegal ways to get one in PDF.
Haven’t tried myself. I just know.
I read this…
And it made me sad
