In the last few months we have seen a huge international interest for The Big Reset. It has resulted in publishing contracts with leading publishers in three major countries, China, Germany and Poland. Independent publishing consultant Matthias Wahls,  hired by Willem Middelkoop after the successful launch of The Big Reset in the Netherlands and North America earaly 2014, is currently in discussion with twelve more countries for local editions.

Matthias Wahls: ‘I expect some more positive news in the near future since I have met a great deal of interest at the Frankfurt Book Fair from a variety of countries like Russia, Italy, France, Spain, Thailand, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, India. It was very promising to realise that one of the absolute premium publishers from China, China Renmin University Press (CRUP) has eagerly picked up the offer and quickly agreed to publish a Chinese translation.’

Reactions by foreign publishers;

China Renmin University Press:

In contrast to the mainstream viewpoint prevailing in the U.S., Mr. Willem Middelkoop’s new book The Big Reset shows an influential European economist and observer’s insight on how the world’s financial system and order will be transformed in the following decade. It is a shared notion in China’s financial and academic sphere that the following ten years mean a significant opportunity for China, whose role and position in the world’s currency and financial system will undergo fundamental changes. As to the question of what kind of changes and why the changes will take place, we hope this extremely popular book will enlighten our readers. To summarize, we believe a Chinese edition of Willem’s The Big Reset will be of great value, and that is why we specially arranged a press release to promote the Chinese edition long before its publication, which is truly unprecedented in our press.

German publisher Wiley AG:

We’re very proud to publish the German language edition of “The Big Reset” by Willem Middelkoop.  When it came to my desk, I thought “Well, just another book on economics and the crisis”.  But this one is different. Willem Middelkoop is describing the history, the current economic and political situation as well as the possible future in a clear, easy to understand way. He is putting together the pieces of the puzzle and in the end the reader will see a complete picture that allows him to understand why the big players in this global economic game are acting like they do.

Polish publisher Zysk:

“We are proud to welcome the well-known Dutch economic journalist Willem Middelkoop to our team. As a publishing house with a wide range of interests we try our best to find interesting, unusual voices discussing important matters. And that’s why we like “The Big Reset”. Willem Middelkoop topics go beyond the borders of our continent and his publications are well known around the world. That’s why we’d like to provide the Polish readers with the chance to also get to know him and his work. We believe that “The Big Reset”, with it’s rare combination of interesting and groundbreaking theses, will be successful on the Polish market.”
