From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
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 Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
They notified EU that they want to leave. In a few years we will know if it is granted. Then we will begin to understand the the positive and negative consequences.
Globalization is a pyramid scheme, based on the idea that you can keep exporting your slaves to yet newer foreign lands and importing riches in trade, while simultaneously ignoring those people living in your own nation who are hopelessly underpaid by default, the folks whom you anticipate will learn to love all the toxic pollution and byproducts, even if it is fatal for them. History will laugh at the illogically insane who once believed in an economic perpetual motion machine. Doing some reading, one discovers that history is about people with no shoes or food deciding enough is enough and killing those wearing silver slippers and consuming caviar, not about kings who were deemed quite highly successful for ruining their own kingdomside with their unfulfilled, complex promises of prosperity. Globalization is like an old horror movie where people who are forced to observe it must yell at the screen, "Don't go in there!" The only hope remaining is that those discovering the fallacy will be humans, and not some bemused extraterrestrials who are casually researching a bizarrely dead planet.
When greedy CEO's make the decision to relocate to areas where slavery by any definition still exists, they not only create ruinous unemployment in towns all across our country, they also foment a global economic race to the bottom. Globalization is like putting concentration of wealth on steroids. It benefits a relative few immensely while taking full advantage of the desperate many..... exactly how the Fascists like Trump want it.
The Brits have finally had enough of the greedy elite...this intervention is a good decision. The TPP needs to make an exit too.
Globalization is an inexhorable reality which will only increase momentum with time. Like the technology which enabled it, it can be for good or for evil - it's a nuetral reality in and of itself. It is from the hearts of men from which its potential good or destructive force will prevail. This global era of fast money-driven cycles of greed>fear>greed>fear can only be transformed through courageous and humanistic leadership. Where are those leaders. One by one, we must find them, encourage them, promote them. A single courageous leader - one at a time - can make a difference.
