Born in 1951, Ivo Mosley is married with 4 children and 4.5 grandchildren. He has a degree in Japanese from Oxford University and an MA in Musical Theatre from Goldsmiths College. He lived for 25 years in Devon before moving to London. After a versatile career writing books and articles on current affairs, philosophy, poetry and politics (and five pieces of musical theatre) he began to write about the crisis affecting our world today. His first book on this subject concerned the dubious nature of democracy. In the Name of the People pointed out a fact long evident to political philosophers: that voting for representatives named by powerful political parties is not 'rule by the people'. He then turned to the money system which underpins our current crisis. In Bank Robbery, the result of seven years' work, he exposes the unassailable powers that rule (and are destroying) our world today.
