About this product
Product Information
In THE CRASH OF 2016 , Thom Hartmann describes a country not on the road to collapse, but in the midst of an economic implosion that could make the Great Depression seem like child's play. Our once-enlightened American political and economic systems have been manipulated to ensure the success of only a fraction of the population at the expense of the rest of us, a "for the rich, by the rich" system that is turning our Democracy into an ancient feudal kingdom and leading to policies that only benefit the highest bidder. A backlash is now palpable-against the banksters, oligarchs, and economic royalists like Milton Friedman, Lewis F. Powell, Alan Greenspan, Ronald Reagan, Jude Wannitsky, Roger Ailes, the Koch brothers, and others who have plunged our nation into economic chaos and social instability. But like the previous crashes of 1770, 1856, and 1929, the Crash of 2016 will give us the chance to once again embrace the moral motive over the profit motive, and to rebuild an economic model that has always yielded great success. Thoroughly researched and passionately argued, in THE CRASH OF 2016 Hartmann assures us that if the right reforms are enacted we can avert disaster and make our nation whole again.

Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren., With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann's work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else., Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions., I've read all of Thom Hartmann's books and value them greatly for their fresh discovery of American corporate history and how corporatism came to dominate our culture and its political economy. Now comes a work steeped in eye-opening history, fact-based interpretation, and imagination about how the past, present, and future are connecting to drive Americans into the ground-unless they become part of a conscious society that commands its future as befits 'we the people.' The two final chapters 'Democratizing the Economy' and 'Epilogue: A Letter to My Great-Grandchildren' are sufficiently priceless., ACCLAIM FOR THE CRASH OF 2016 "Ever since he was a young SDS member back When It All Began, Thom Hartmann has combined a prodigious intelligence and common touch to expand participatory democracy as the American Way. This is an excellent guide to avoid the next crash landing.", Thom Hartmann explains the way critical social lessons fade over time, and how dangerous that cycle is. America is at the tail end of such a cycle today, as we stand amidst terrible inequality and on the precipice of tremendous change. And, yes, Thom offers a compelling plan of action for activists. Everyone should read this book., Never one to shy away from the truth . . . inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America., Thom Hartmann is right that America must invest in our transportation and energy infrastructure, promote renewable energy, and rethink the disastrous trade policies that have shuttered our factories and decimated our middle class. I hope his thoughtful ideas about what America needs and his loud-and-clear warning about where America is headed will wake us up before his prediction comes true., Few authors have ever had a bigger story to tell. Thom Hartmann is the authority on the basket case that the U.S. economy has become. No advanced nation in modern times has been so badly served by its elites and this tour de force of a book explains why., Thom Hartmann provides page after page of crucial history to show how our country headed into deep decline. And he offers an action plan of reform and renewal that can avert economic and environmental collapse. A rare and readable blend of history and hope., PRAISE FOR THOM HARTMANN "Never one to shy away from the truth . . . inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America.", 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., Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him.
