From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen and The Impossible Will Take a Little While
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."
—David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World and Agenda for A New Economy
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
—Van Jones, cofounder of RebuildTheDream.com and author of The Green Collar Economy

Certainly if Bernie is elected, he is the closest to FDR's image than anyone running. I am old enough to remember FDR and Truman, too. Both were men who couldn't give a hang as to what people thought. The true jewel in FDR's administration was Eleanor Perkins. She doesn't get enough praise for her contributions to the New Deal and a chicken in every pot all of which were due to her brainstorms and managerial skills at implementing. We need to get rid of Andrew Jackson on our money and select Eleanor Perkins for that spot. Jackson was responsible for the attempted extermination of our native Americans....get rid of him.
FDR saved us in 1932. For almost fifty years we prospered. Then along come Ray-gun to turn the clock back. Since then we have been sliding into the garbage disposal. The only good Repug is a dead Repug.
