Ron Paul isn’t wasting any time in retirement. The former presidential candidate, who left Congress in January, is working on a book about education.

“New School Manifesto” will be released by Grand Central on Sept. 17. The publisher describes the upcoming book as “a focused guide to Dr. Paul’s position, which centers on a strong support for home schooling and free market principles applied to education. He makes the case for individual freedoms as they pertain to educating our children, and nimbly dissects the most pressing issues that need to be addressed from the libertarian point of view.”
“New School Manifesto” will also reportedly provide a history of American schooling and a critique of what went wrong.

During the presidential campaign, Paul advocated closing the Dept. of Education, abolishing “No Child Left Behind,” and giving tax credits to parents for educational expenses.

I saw that on Amazon the other day. He actually has 2 books coming out.

The first one is called The Dao of Capital: Austrian Investing in a Distorted World (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1118416678/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1118416678&linkCode=as2&tag=indyatticcom-20) That's available for pre-order now, and is due out in April.

This is the education book, New School Manifesto: A Libertarian Look at American Education (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1455577170/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1455577170&linkCode=as2&tag=indyatticcom-20), due out in September.

It's also available for pre-order.

How naive that he believes education is the answer. Must be a political noob.

A manifesto? Hope they don't burn his house down! :o

This book should be interesting in my field of private education.

No. But I didn't think he was going to run a 10,000 mile marathon right out of the gate either. Ron's an amazing man.

Ron Paul advocates ending the government monopoly on currency and ending government schools? Government cannot exist without either of them.

I wish he would just come out of the anarchist closet already.

Aren't you the one who thought he was too busy to keep up properly when he only had two jobs?
