Perfect for you if...

  • You're interested in progressive politics and want to understand critiques of corporate influence in American society.
  • You're sceptical of mainstream narratives around child development and learning differences.
  • You want practical thinking about environmental solutions grounded in cultural history rather than just doom-saying.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer narrative-driven books with characters and stories over essay collections and social commentary.
  • You're looking for a comprehensive deep dive into one topic rather than a range of loosely connected essays.
  • You disagree with left-leaning political perspectives and won't engage with them charitably.

About this book

This collection of essays from Thom Hartmann addresses his core concerns: Jeffersonian democracy and resistance to the corporatization of America. The book introduces Hartmann's Older and Younger Cultures hypothesis, which he presents as an explanation for many contemporary social and environmental problems. The essays cover diverse topics, including how schools can avoid treating children as assembly line products, why attention deficit disorder should not be viewed as an affliction, and lessons Germany's experience with solar energy offers to other nations. Throughout, Hartmann frames these pieces as calls to action, encouraging readers to engage civically and participate in addressing the issues discussed.
