Atlas also fostered the diffusion of intellectual products across the network, including books, reports, memos, and videos. Convinced that "the widespread availability of pro-market books is a critical element in communicating the principles of a free society," Atlas financed translations of the classics of liberalism, including books by Adam Smith, Hayek, Buchanan, and Friedman. The corpus evolved through time and Atlas also helped translate and diffuse texts produced by members of associated institutes, including de Soto, Goodman, and many others. In the 1990s, those texts championed private and market solutions with a particular focus on healthcare, welfare, and environmental issues.
