From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
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."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
RE sociopathy. Yes. Didn't hear entire segment, but several of the comments Thom made regarding these people- -- I certainly agree with him. ( I am a psychotherapist and have over the past 30 years trained numerous agency staffs who deal with the public on how to deal with clients who are "difficult" have "thinking errors" , are "antisocial" etc. Whether or not all of the men Thom discussed are sociopathic, some of them certainly fall in the category I call "Chronically Hurtful People". I have recently published a book on that topic, and several readers have mentioned to me that the voting public should be among the readers. I describe these people are "expert at fooling others, and expert at elliciting support," including obtaining our votes!!. I know Thom is swamped with reading materials but I would, of course, love his take on my work.!) Thanks for a great show, as always. I am long time listener, long time fan. Roxanne
