[open-economics] works of Economics in Public Domain

Fri Jan 4 11:01:58 UTC 2013

There have been numerous threads on which authors' works enter the public
domain in 2013 on our pd-discuss mailing list [1]. Presumably economics
authors would be a subset of this.

It depends on which jurisdiction you're in, but if you're in a country
where death + 70 years applies, you could try looking for economists that
died in 1942 on DBpedia.

Would be curious to hear how you get on!

All the best,

Jonathan
