Career

[edit]

In 1998, Jackson received a B.A. in economics with honors from Stanford University.[3] He served on the board of directors of The Stanford Review.[4] Jackson maintains the book publishing industry blog called Conservative Publisher.[5]

In 2005, Jackson accused Google of political bias for removing online ads for a book critical of Bill Clinton. Google responded that no previously-approved ads had been removed.[6]

Jackson's own book The PayPal Wars (ISBN 0-9746701-0-3) chronicles PayPal's origins and discusses the legal, regulatory, and competitive threats entrepreneurs must overcome in today's business environment.[7] It has been profiled by Reason Magazine,[8] The Washington Times,[9] the Mises Institute,[10] Tech Central Station,[11] and Tom Peters.[12]

Jackson appears as a conservative commentator on radio and television programs. He has been quoted in Forbes,[13] BusinessWeek,[14] TheStreet.com,[15] U.S. News & World Report,[16] and Publishers Weekly, [17] among other publications.
