Thom Hartmann
Progressive radio host Thom Hartmann reveals how and why neoliberalism became so prevalent in the United States and why it's time for us to turn our backs to it.
While America is at a crossroads regarding its economic future, many of us don’t fully understand how we got here. In this powerful and accessible book, Thom Hartmann demystifies neoliberalism and explains how we can use this pivotal point in time to create a more positive future.
This book traces the history of neoliberalism—which applies to a set of capitalistic philosophies favoring free trade, financial austerity, and deregulation—up to the present. Hartmann explains how neoliberalism was sold as a cure for wars and the Great Depression. He outlines the impact that it has had on America, looking at different sectors, including healthcare, unemployment, and education.
Hartmann highlights how America can go one of two ways: continue going down the road to neoliberal oligarchy, as supported by the GOP, or choose to return to FDR’s Keynesian economics, raise taxes on the rich, reverse free trade, and create a more pluralistic society.

This book is overflowing with libelous claims against several deceased intellectuals, includes edited, out of context quotations, inappropriate and misleading adjectives, curiosly misattributed ideological affiliations, misrepresented events, inverted timelines, and neglected historical consequences.
In short, it's a blatant, four hour hit piece. I hope others will check into the people and events he is talking about... the author even mentions the proliferation of websites and articles contradicting his narrative, as though those are some sinister and subtle proof of his case. It should occur to most readers that those sites exist in such numbers simply because they are dealing with ideas more consistent with reality than those given by the author.
I am still trying to reconcile to myself the amount of respect I fear I have lost for the man who recommended it to me. It is most unfortunate.
It's disquieting.
