I hope everybody’s read my book *[The Libertarian Mind](https://www.cato.org/libertarianmind)*. Not to mention the companion volume [*The Libertarian Reader*](http://books.simonandschuster.com/The-Libertarian-Reader/David-Boaz/9781476752891).

But for those who prefer listening or watching videos to reading, I’m excited to announce my new online [Introduction to Libertarianism](http://www.libertarianism.org/guides/introduction-libertarianism#.kfs3ek:Ns0J), the first of several [Guides to libertarian ideas produced by Lib​er​tar​i​an​ism​.org](http://www.libertarianism.org/guides). Each Guide will include an introductory video, a series of video lectures, and a featured book, along with additional reading lists, essays, and links to other materials. Here’s a peek:

Coming soon: Guides on such topics as economics, political philosophy, and public policy, generally with a short original book to accompany the videos. For the Introduction to Libertarianism, the accompanying book is *The Libertarian Mind*. The 14 short lectures — 10 to 20 minutes each — track the sections of the book:

> The Early Roots of Libertarianism
> 
> 
> The Classical Liberal Era
> 
> 
> The Modern Libertarian Revival
> 
> 
> What Rights Do We Have?
> 
> 
> The Dignity of the Individual
> 
> 
> Pluralism and Toleration
> 
> 
> Law and the Constitution
> 
> 
> Civil Society
> 
> 
> Networks of Trust
> 
> 
> The Market Process
> 
> 
> The Seen and the Unseen and International Trade
> 
> 
> What Big Government Is All About
> 
> 
> Public Choice
> 
> 
> The Obsolete State

My colleagues at Lib​er​tar​i​an​ism​.org and I have tried to create the best available introduction to libertarianism here in 2015. And by the way, even though it’s called “Introduction,” I think almost any libertarian will find some new and interesting material in both the lectures and *The Libertarian Mind*.
