I'm a philosopher and writer who is on the front lines of the 'culture wars', trying to help save capitalism and democracy from the legions of mentally-disturbed bullies who have taken over intellectual life in the West.

Currently I am working hard on an original book about a topic I call 'philosophical hypochondria' - the tendency of intellectuals to hide from life behind dismal phoney problems and pointless theories while angrily extorting support and sympathy from the populace at large. I am the author of eight books so far, including 'Scapegoated Capitalism' and 'Space to Create: A Writer's View on the Housing Crisis'.

For two decades, I have supported my writing by working as a delivery driver in the evenings, and I continue to do so. But with your support I could do so much more - whether promoting my work at events and talks, or spending more time conducting research.

Your support will make a huge difference to me. It will also help me to continue to speak out on behalf of exasperated sensible people everywhere.
