Hartmann Is Brillant
Thom Hartmann is brillant, and every time I hear or read his books he provides me with new information that I would have never gotten anywhere else. He's on Sirius Radio every day, and should be listened to if you want the truth about politics in America
EXELLENT - Get this one for your collection
Thom Hartmann has provided a synthesis of history, economics, politics and social issues in a way that is grounded, easy to read, and above all, provides a secure understanding of the path this country has taken to surrendering democracy.
I must emphasize how nicely this information and analysis sticks to your brain, and yet is a comprehensive work that does not dumb down to the reader.
Great Christmas gift for your conservative friends who don't even know why they are conservative!!!!
I recommend "Unequil Protection" as high school reqd reading
Thom starts with the East India Company of the 1500's and its "corporate" charter, and walks you through to today. Then he presents you with several sources and methods or starting a grass-roots movement to change the "Santa Clara" decision, which gave corporations personhood...excellent, excellent.
Unequal Protection
As is the case with all Thom Hartmann's books, a must read for all liberals.
Value Base Economy
Hartmann calls for a values based USA and less emphasis on big business in this book.He sets out to show how the way things are currently are inimical to economic growth of the ordinary folks of the USA. A must read.
Some other great books: "Fluctuating Life" by Jamaican-Canadian, author, teacher and poet, Joshua Spencer and "Quest for a Dream - A Life Committed to Progress" by Jamaican educator, author, social worker and entrepreneur, Joyce Buchanan.
