I am delighted to report that [*Libertarianism: A Primer*](http://www.amazon.com/Libertarianism-Primer-David-Boaz/dp/068484768X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255962312&sr=1-1) has been published in Chinese. Let’s hope for sales in the tens of millions! The good folks at the Atlas Global Initiative posted [an interview with me](http://www.vimeo.com/6970907) about the book, with subtitles in Chinese. (In my experience, it plays more smoothly if you turn the HD button off. But then, there’s nothing really new in the interview for American viewers.)

Thanks to the good folks at [www​.guomin​liyi​.org](http://www.guominliyi.org) and [www​.ipen​cil​.org](http://www.ipencil.org) for making this book possible. The support of the project by a Chinese entrepreneur shows not only the growth of the Chinese economy, but one of the additional benefits of economic growth: diverse sources of wealth, with different people making different investments and encouraging diverse ideas.

*Libertarianism: A Primer* [has also been published](https://www.cato.org/pubs/policy_report/v27n5/cpr-27n5-3.pdf) in Russian, Japanese, Spanish, Czech, Polish, Serbian, Bulgarian, Cambodian, Mongolian, Kurdish, and Persian. Translations into Arabic, Portuguese, and Italian are underway. And of course you can get it in [audio form](http://www.amazon.com/Libertarianism-Primer-David-Boaz/dp/068484768X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255705821&sr=1-1). Not Kindle yet, but feel free to [tell them you’d like a Kindle edition](http://www.amazon.com/Libertarianism-Primer-David-Boaz/dp/068484768X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1255962312&sr=1-1).
