Free speech & the right to offend
A belief that you have the right to offend — and others have the right to be offended.

An exploration of how tax systems and legal frameworks shape behaviour, investment, and economic outcomes.
Political ideology & institutional power politics

A Questioning Book
Why Is It? We Are Afraid of Being Descendants of Monkeys but not Incest
In a series of piercing, often uncomfortable questions, Harry Margulies confronts the contradictions at the heart of modern moral and religious thinking. Blending philosophy, satire, and legal reasoning, the book challenges readers to think more honestly — and more consistently.
We are not disturbed by contradiction — only by the questions that expose it.
