With the recent U.S. recognition of Cuba, a swarm of transnational corporations will descend on the opportunity to transform the economy into a capitalist's paradise. Prof. Wolff might comment directly on the "cooperative" alternative as Cuba moves away from its state ownership model. Any way to get his material translated into Spanish in a low cost fashion? Many Latin-American countries would be very interested in his views! Mondragon?

From Cracking the Code:
"In Cracking the Code, Thom Hartmann, America’s most popular, informed, and articulate progressive talk show host and political analyst, tells us what makes humans vulnerable to unscrupulous propagandists and what we can do about it. It is essential reading for all Americans who are fed up with right-wing extremists manipulating our minds and politics to promote agendas contrary to our core values and interests."
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 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."
Republicans use fear because it shuts down the higher functions of the brain, which ordinarily allow people to think like liberals--weighing options rather than making hasty decisions, feeling the pain of people on both sides of an issue rather than treating the out-group as subhuman. Drunkenness also has that effect, but fear acts as a zombie disease, where each person infected by it tries to pass it on to others.
