Who is Mark Boyle?

Mark Boyle is an Irish writer and activist, born in 1979, widely known by the name that follows him everywhere: the Moneyless Man. That name alone maps the territory his work occupies – a life, and a body of writing, shaped by radical questions about money, consumption and what a person can actually do without.

Boyle belongs to that small band of authors whose lives are the argument. Where most writers observe from the touchline, the activist strand of his career means the ideas on his pages have been tested in practice first, and that lends his prose an authority no amount of research can counterfeit.

Mark Boyle in audiobooks

Our catalogue holds The Way Home, and the title signals the direction of travel: away from the noise, towards something slower and more deliberate. It suits exactly the settings its own subject implies – a long walk, a quiet evening, screens off.

For UK listeners, Boyle offers the rare pleasure of a voice with skin in the game. This is writing born of conviction rather than commentary, from a man whose nickname is a manifesto in miniature, and it tends to leave its questions ringing well after the final chapter.
