I thought I heard Thom mention Benoit Mandelbrot in an article on stock markets, but I missed the relevance.

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:
"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 Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
I signed the petition of support Rep. Grayson's proposed Constitutional amendment to ban gerrymandering a couple days ago, but it doesn't let you see the text of it. My best guess as to what it might say is: no person holding, or being a candidate for, a public office may take part in deciding the borders of electoral districts.
