Ultimately and ideally, the point of this effort is to revamp a fresh, 21th century version of David D. Friedman's acclaimed textbook, which is available online.

The graphics need to be redrawn. We could use Javascript for the graphics, and to make a lot of them interactive so that, as an example, price in price controls could be easily adjusted and the ensuing shortage region would automatically be illustrated (or surplus for a minimum price).

Things like the "present value visual calculator" could also be implemented this way.

Technology: ideally we would use an existing library, but programming one, at least for plots, should not be difficult. In that case, it should follow the look and feel of some popular package (ggplot2?) so that other static graphics could be generated that match the look.
