Reviews

“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
