A former Silicon Valley businessman, Eric M. Jackson is the founder and chairman of World Ahead Publishing and serves on the board of advisors for Vanguard PAC, the nation’s premier political action committee dedicated to fostering a better and freer world, and The Stanford Review.

Jackson's business memoir, The PayPal Wars, chronicles the real-life exploits of a group of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs as they set out to overhaul the world’s currency markets, only to find themselves facing a horde of anti-capitalist foes. Winner of the 2005 Writers Notes Book Award, The PayPal Wars has been hailed as “absorbing” by The Washington Times.

An outspoken advocate of free markets, Jackson is a frequent guest on talk radio and telvision programs and has been quoted by Reuters, Forbes, US News & World Report, and other publications. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife.


About World Ahead Publishing
Headquartered just south of Los Angeles, World Ahead Publishing is the West Coast's premier publisher of conservative and libertarian books. Our mission is to publish high-quality books for general audiences that make the case that capitalism and democratic republicanism are critical for preserving liberty and combating the spread of evil.

Founded in 2003, our company began operating the following year when we launched the "World Ahead" imprint for adult nonfiction books with an emphasis in current events, politics, history and economics/business. In 2005, we followed this up with the creation of a new imprint called "Kids Ahead" that is targeted for parents seeking books that will help them pass on their moral values to their children in an overwhelmingly liberal media environment.
