Welcome to my website.
I write about the things that interest me: philosophy, finance, social enterprise, politics and art. I aim to write well and to write clearly, but to avoid oversimplification.
There is a saying, beloved of some philosophers, that if you are unable to express an idea clearly you have not understood it properly.
To which I would add, if a complex problem has a simple solution then someone else will have thought of it already.
On this site you will find a selection of my writing, some of which has been published elsewhere and some of which is only available here.
Each time a new piece of writing is added to the site it will also be profiled on this page. The work has been divided into three categories.
Shorter pieces are classified as articles
Longer pieces are classified as essays
Pieces that comment specifically on the work of others are classified as reviews
The site was launched in January 2009. I hope you find it interesting.

Latest addition
I wrote a short article on the "right to credit" for the OECD Insights website: Life, Liberty and Access to Credit was published on 25th June 2010. In the article I consider whether it makes sense to argue for a human right to credit, and suggest that we might look to private sector business as the best solution to the problem of a shortage of affordable credit.
Interview
Last month I gave an interview to Anatoliy Kurmanaev of the Hackney Citizen, a local free-newspaper, about my work as Chair of the Board of Fair Finance.
A copy of the print version of the interview is here.
