From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."
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 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."
The nature of positive feedback loops (PFL's) is that, over time, the system changes at a faster and faster rate. Until --- the system collapses. We are now experiencing PFL's in both global warming and increasing wealth inequality. In an essential respect, the two systems are related since much of wealth increase is based on fossil fuel exploitation. My point, neither problem can be solved separately.
