Ron Unz

Ron Unz is a study in restlessness. Harvard-educated, he made millions in financial software before throwing himself into politics, running for governor of California and later for the Senate without winning either. I find that trajectory more interesting than any single result. Entrepreneur, writer, political activist, he never seems content to stay in one lane. He is undeniably a polarizing figure, and I won't pretend otherwise, but I am genuinely curious about people who act on conviction and accept the public friction that follows. To me that is more compelling than safe commentary from the sidelines.
