About this listen

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.

Outstanding capture of ugly twists

Really deeply saddening narrative. Always to the right. So many at home and around the world are more than spectators. Sickening that this highly corrupt violent society demands world domination. Presidents come and go but this noisy pervasive spying nation engine will push its world domination at any cost. This book best of all makes clear how little citizens know about their country (propaganda) and more than all the other.national horror shows of the past the modern-day US loves to beat its chest that it is unstoppable. Of course on this one single point this twisted war making nation is wrong. Another painful lesson not far away. World destruction is also of no interest. Thanks for loud warning signals likely never consider. This author stands out.
