From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
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."
I find that films often provide insight into conversations into "White Privilege". A lot of folk don't remember these flick's AND it means loaning out my DVDs for several months BUT . . .
Gentleman's Agreement, 1947, Gregory Peck
Watermelon Man, 1970, Godfrey Cambridge
This is a baby steps conversation. I find the issue is big . . . even in more liberal folk.
