#WeToo
The Moral Case Against Aristocratic Power
#WeToo argues that stagnant wages, private debt, costly housing, healthcare insecurity, and weakened democratic institutions are connected to concentrated ownership and power. It rejects the false choice between unfettered capitalism and authoritarian communism and proposes ‘civic capitalism’ as a democratic middle path. The book outlines economic and political reforms, then closes with strategies for turning diagnosis into collective action.

#WeToo
The Vulnerable Foundations of Elite Power
Book two asks how elite power maintains support among people harmed by the economic arrangements it defends. After recapping the series’ economic framework, it examines claimed contradictions involving masculinity, small-town decline, religion, surveillance, generational fairness, meritocracy, nationalism, technology, populism, and labor. It then treats those tensions as openings for persuasion, moving from structural analysis to audience strategy, cultural storytelling, and distributed movement-building.

#WeToo
From Media Revolution to Collective Action
Book three concentrates on communication and action. It examines propaganda, the limits of evidence-heavy progressive media, purity policing, tribal identity, and the way stories bypass political defenses. From digital swarms and “Trojan horse” fiction to romance, action stories, visual media, broadcasting, and games, the book develops a cultural strategy for reaching audiences outside progressive spaces, then connects individual creative work to durable, open-source collective organization.

#WeToo
The Complete Guide to Fighting Back Against America's Aristocracy
The omnibus brings the full #WeToo argument into one volume. It moves from economic extraction and the proposed alternative of civic capitalism through a policy and democratic-reform program, then examines the contradictions the author sees within conservative power. Its final parts shift from diagnosis to practice: propaganda, tribal identity, cultural storytelling, distributed media, and open-source organizing intended to turn individual acts of creation into collective political power.
Abridged Version
#WeToo
How To Crush the Conservative Coalition and Reclaim Our Freedom
This abridged edition condenses the #WeToo project into a single entry point. It introduces the series’ account of economic extraction, moral solidarity, civic capitalism, and democratic reform; summarizes the contradictions it identifies within conservative power; and carries the argument into practice through strategic communication, cultural storytelling, and open-source organization. Its emphasis is the shortest route from the series’ diagnosis to its proposed methods of action.

A Special Life, A Special Love
A Parents' Journey to Joy, Acceptance, and Unconditional Love
A Special Life, A Special Love follows a parent’s movement from shock, grief, anger, denial, jealousy, and cure-seeking toward acceptance of an autistic child. Combining family narrative with practical discussion of behavior, treatment claims, lifelong care, and special-needs planning, it places non-judgment, impermanence, gratitude, compassion, and attentive love at the center. Its defining claim is that the child is not the problem to be fixed; the parent’s way of seeing and caring is what must change.

The Great Housing Bubble
Why Did House Prices Fall?
The Great Housing Bubble explains the 2000s rise and fall of U.S. house prices through mortgage finance, property valuation, land economics, credit securitization, and buyer psychology. It moves from conservative financing and rent-and-income fundamentals through exotic loans, CDOs, bubble-price measurements, speculation, projected declines, and buying or selling during a downturn. Written while the 2008 collapse was still unfolding, it closes with proposals intended to prevent another housing bubble.
