The Hidden History of American Oligarchy
Thom Hartmann, the most popular progressive radio host in America and a New York Times bestselling author, looks at the history of the battle against oligarchy in America—and how we can win the latest round. Billionaire oligarchs want to own our republic, and they're nearly there thanks to legislation and Supreme Court decisions that they have essentially bought. They put Trump and his political allies into office and support a vast network of think tanks, publications, and social media that every day push our nation closer and closer to police-state tyranny. The United States was born in a struggle against the oligarchs of the British aristocracy, and ever since then the history of Americ...

The Hidden History of the War on Voting

The Hidden History of Monopolies
“This is the most important, dynamic book on the cancers of monopoly by giant corporations written in our generation.”—from the foreword by Ralph Nader American monopolies dominate, control, and consume most of the energy of our entire economic system; they function the same as cancer does in a body, and, like cancer, they weaken our systems while threatening to crash the entire body economic. American monopolies have also seized massive political power and use it to maintain their obscene profits and CEO salaries while crushing small competitors. But Thom Hartmann, America's #1 progressive radio host, shows we've broken the control of behemoths like these before, and we can do it agai...
The Crash of 2016
The United States is more vulnerable today than ever before-including during the Great Depression and the Civil War-because the pillars of democracy that once supported a booming middle class have been corrupted, and without them, America teeters on the verge of the next Great Crash. The United States is in the midst of an economic implosion that could make the Great Depression look like child's play. In THE CRASH OF 2016, Thom Hartmann argues that the facade of our once-great United States will soon disintegrate to reveal the rotting core where corporate and billionaire power and greed have replaced democratic infrastructure and governance. Our once-enlightened political and economic system...

Summary of Thom Hartmann's The Hidden History of Big Brother in America
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Benjamin Franklin was one of the most influential Founders, and he was horrified by the power that the Puritans had seized in Massachusetts and nearby New Hampshire. He campaigned against organized religion his entire life. #2 In 1658, the Massachusetts Puritans chopped off the ears of two Quakers, Christopher Holder and John Copeland. In 1850, Nathaniel Hawthorne published The Scarlet Letter, set in Puritan Boston, which dramatized how rulebreakers were stigmatized in Massachusetts. #3 The history of slavery in the United States is the result of the economic and social control of food. With harvest-season food surpluses and winter and spring food shortages, small groups of people could seize control of the harvest and lock up the food. #4 The American colonies were primarily built by the East India Company and the British government in 1607, which established the colony of Jamestown. The colonists began to import bonded Europeans and Africans around 1620.
