The new low-cost paperback volume, the fourth in a series that includes The Economics of Freedom, Morality of Capitalism, and After the Welfare State, offers, as an alternative to the politics of force, a philosophy of persuasion based on individual liberty and choice. It includes contributions from student leaders such as Alexander McCobin, co-founder of the fast-growing and international Students for Liberty, and Olumayowa Okediran, founder of African Liberty Students Organization, as well as highly visible thought leaders including TV personality John Stossel. "We are seeing an explosion among college students committed to the ideas of liberty—there's no other word to describe it," says Palmer. "And today's students are not only interested in discussing these ideas, they want to do something about it. That's why this new book so strongly represents the voices of today's student leaders, some very impressive young people who have developed their own vision for freedom, one that transcends old political divides, and who know how to get organized and to do something constructive to make their vision happen." Dr. Palmer will be traveling the U.S. and internationally for book events and is available for interview upon request. As with previous editions in the same series, the books are not only recommended reading for students, many think tanks and business organizations host book events attracting politicos, professionals, academics, and journalists to discuss the ideas in the book. —The Atlas Economic Research Foundation
