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."
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."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
It's such a contrast to think of Franklin D. Roosevelt.. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." then to John F. Kennedy, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." Then to today... with presumptive Republican Donald J. Trump... It is a depressing mood that he sets for this country as far as having the standard for a presidential candidate has sunk to a new low. Astonishingly substandard; demeaning and just no where close to a pulse of any real character .. just a thought.
