Atlas commissioned co-authored "snack box" books featuring plain-language essays promoting free market ideology. [fact]

Towards the end of the 2000s, particularly with the arrival of Tom Palmer, Atlas started to take advantage of its dense network to encourage cooperation between institutes on the co-production and co-diffusion of contents. Atlas commissioned co-authored "snack box" books featuring plain-language essays promoting free market ideology. The authors include celebrated figures in the network such as Nobel Laureate Mario Vargas Llosa, famous CEOs or journalists, but also young "liberty champions" from around the world. Atlas monitors the writing, translation, and distribution of these books and other produced contents (videos, blog posts …) through its designated outreach channels, including local language websites, organized liberty tours, summer schools, and seminars.
