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 details neoliberalism' s utter failure and its social, economic, and environmental devastation. The destabilization its policies have wrought have left our generation with the task to rebuild; and Hartmann' s book shows the way. " -Leila Conners, founder and Director, Tree Media and Need to Know (N2K) "Thom Hartmann makes it crystal clear how neoliberal free-market economics benefits monopolistic big business and the ultrarich while impoverishing our country and everyone else. " -Earl Katz, progressive activist and Emmy-nominated documentary film producer "This compact handbook nimbly recapitulates the political effects of neoliberalism as it percolated through world history. It allows the reader to clearly apprehend the outline of the beast. " -George DiCaprio
