  1. 1. Pimp State

    Sex, Money and the Future of Equality

    In this compelling exploration of the global sex trade, the author delves into the complex and often hidden world of prostitution, examining the societal and economic forces that sustain it. Through meticulous research and powerful narratives, the book challenges the notion that selling sex is a choice, highlighting the exploitation and inequality at its core. It calls for a reevaluation of how society views and legislates the sex industry, advocating for policies that prioritize the rights and safety of women, and ultimately, the abolition of the trade itself.

  2. 2. The Equality Illusion

    The Truth about Women and Men Today

    This book argues that apparent gains in gender equality mask deep, systemic inequalities by examining how political, economic and cultural institutions perpetuate male dominance; it critiques market-friendly or celebrity-driven 'lean-in' feminism and corporate diversity initiatives as often cosmetic, explains how austerity, labor markets, unpaid care work, media representation and violence against women maintain unequal power, and uses evidence and case studies to call for structural change, collective political action and a redistribution of resources and power rather than individual solutions.
