Former presidential candidate Ron Paul, a longtime foe of the Federal Reserve and champion of a smaller foreign policy footprint, is turning to education in a new book slated for release this fall.

In ?New School Manifesto,? scheduled for a Sept. 17 release from Grand Central Publishing, the former GOP congressman from Texas will promote home schooling and ?free market principles applied to education,? according to an official?book description.

?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,? the description continues.

This will be Paul?s fourth book with Grand Central Publishing, following ?Liberty Defined,? ?End the Fed? and ?The Revolution: A Manifesto,? his editor, Ben Greenberg, told POLITICO. Greenberg said the book has been in the works for close to a year, and that a deal for its publication was hammered out in January.

In this book, Greenberg said, Paul will compare the postal service to the education system, arguing that in both realms, competition promotes better services.

?He?s basically saying the postal service didn?t have many competitors until FedEx, UPS and email, obviously, and now it?s changing the way everything gets done,? Greenberg said. ?He?s arguing for that in education as well.?

Paul will address a variety of education policy proposals, he said.

?He?s taking the position that a parent should have the ability to choose what is best,? Greenberg said, a philosophy that would include home schooling.

Greenberg, who has edited all of Paul?s books done through Grand Central Publishing, said the Texan is ?really easy to work with? and doesn?t require heavy editing.

?We usually do two to three edits for the main script, but not much,? Greenberg said. ?His ideas are pretty fully formed. It?s just a matter of honing in and making sure everything is in the right order and just figuring out how to best say the message without becoming too repetitive or anything like that.?

Also on deck for the libertarian former lawmaker: talk radio. Courtside Entertainment Group?announced?this month that in March, Paul will offer ?twice daily one-minute radio commentaries? with his talks also available as a weekly podcast.

?Even if you don?t agree with what he says, he always makes you think about things a little bit differently,? Greenberg added.
