From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
Not only do I think the world's view hasn't changed, I think it has all but forgotten about the disaster, even as the Fukushima disaster continues to slowly unfold. The corporate media has all but forgotten, and it seems the place that even gives it any notice is Japan.
Had the disaster had the impact it should have, we would see more attention and funding of "alernative" energy, namely solar and wind. While there has been some growth in those areas, the focus seems to remain oil and new ways to wring out the last drops through a process called "fracking", along with continued efforts to locate new fields. Only a few countries, in particularly Germany and the Scandinavian countries have shown any serious interest to breaking the oil stranglehold on their economies. I think this a great example of the power oil companies in US politics.
