          The cuneiform inscription that appears in the logo and serves as a design element in
          all Liberty Fund books and web sites 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, in present day Iraq.
