“Why couldn’t profound ideas be presented in a fun and enjoyable way?” This very question inspired Ken Schoolland to write “The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible”. With translations in 57 languages and worldwide readership, this captivating book narrates the journey of a young man shipwrecked on a mysterious island, where he embarks on a series of adventures and learns invaluable life lessons.

In recent years, social media has been flooded with reports of Gen Z shifting towards socialism and rebelling against the rich and capitalism. While they believe in some form of liberty, their means of achieving it are far from free-market ideas. Numerous pro-liberty organisations provide great educational programs but reach a limited impact.

Several thinkers have conveyed impactful messages through stories: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand conceptualized her Objectivist philosophy, and 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell transmitted the atrocities of socialism. So the question arises: how can we convey free-market ideas in an engaging way?

Recognizing the immense power of storytelling, Liberty International has embarked on a mission to transform this beloved book into an animated series where the philosophy of individual liberty and free-market ideas emerge organically from the interactions in the story.

Whether you are a parent, educator, or liberty enthusiast, this series is set to become a powerful tool for introducing young audiences to vital ideas and principles. “The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible” addresses various crucial issues. It busts myths regarding labor-saving innovations, simplifies economic concepts like “the tragedy of the commons,” and highights government intervention through taxation, trade restrictions, and absurd laws.

To bring the book’s characters to life, Liberty International enlisted some of the most influential libertarian voices, including Walter Block, Tom Woods, Michael Malice, Larry Sharpe, Johan Norberg, Magatte Wade, Jennifer Grossman, Robert Anthony Peters, Mohit Satyanand, Kenli Schoolland, and Jo Ann Skousen.

Austin Petersen, who voiced the main character, already had the opportunity to interview the author on his show “Wake Up America”:

Excitement is building as Season 1 of The Adventures of Jonathan Gullible Animation Series is set to launch on September 5th on Free to Choose Network’s Youtube Channel.
