I was browsing in a bookshop the other day and came across a book by one Roger Scruton about Thinkers of the New Left. It included biographical notes on these Thinkers, of whom I turned out to be one. To my excitement, I found myself described as a man of 'considerable wealth'. This was welcome news, and I must write to this Scruton to find out where this wealth is and how I can get hold of it.
