From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
Rubio has it backward. As automation reduces how much human labor is needed, wages must go up. As population stays the same while jobs disappear, we need to shorten the work week and the work life (lowering retirement age and allowing more educational delays to entering the workforce) so that the work that needs to get done is spread more evenly among the people, allowing everyone to earn enough to survive, thrive and retire. But this means that everyone must be paid more per unit of time that they actually work, so that the lifetime total is the same.
