About the Author

Daniel Simpson was born in England in 1974. He read history at Cambridge then trained as a foreign correspondent with Reuters, before joining The New York Times to report on the Balkans. He resigned after learning that news promotes the interests of the powerful. Profits trump people and planet, whatever the costs. To challenge that bias with sustainable alternatives, Daniel published a fake Financial Times, depicting a world less addicted to economic growth. Its editorial was reprinted in the British Journalism Review. His recent work focuses on yoga, which he practices. He lives in London when not travelling in India.
