Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The New York Timesbestselling author looks at the real history of the corrupting influence of oligarchy in Americaand how we can fight back.Billionaire oligarchs want to own our republic, and they?re nearly there thanks to legislation and Supreme Court decisions that they have essentially bought. They put Trump and his political allies into office and support a vast network of think tanks, publications, and social media that every day push our nation closer and closer to policestate tyranny.The United States was born in a struggle against the oligarchs of the British aristocracy, and ever since then the history of America has been one of dynamic tension between democracy and oligarchy. And much like the shock of the 1929 crash woke America up to glaring inequality and the ongoing theft of democracy by that generation's oligarchs, the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 has laid bare how extensively oligarchs have looted our nation?s economic system, gutted governmental institutions, and stolen the wealth of the former middle class.Thom Hartmann, the most popular progressive radio host in America and a bestselling author, traces the history of this struggle against oligarchy from America?s founding to the United States? war with the feudal Confederacy to President Franklin Roosevelt?s struggle against ?economic royalists,? who wanted to block the New Deal. In each of those cases, the oligarchs lost the battle. But with increasing rightwing control of the media, unlimited campaign contributions, and a conservative takeover of the judicial system, we're at a crisis point.Now is the time for action, before we flip into tyranny. We?ve beaten the oligarchs before, and we can do it again. Hartmann lays out practical measures we can take to break up media monopolies, limit the influence of money in politics, reclaim the wealth stolen over decades by the oligarchy, and build a movement that will return control of America to We the People.Praise for The Hidden History of American Oligarchy?For every American interested in protecting our democracy, everyone puzzled about how America came to the brink of authoritarian rule, and for all who enjoy a being educated and entertained by enthralling, eyeopening, riveting journey in U.S. history, The Hidden History of Oligarchy is a must read!? Don Siegelman, former Governor of Alabama, author of Stealing Our Democracy?Thom Hartmann is America?s history teacher, a national treasure laying it out scary and clear: tyranny can happen here. Oligarchy?s choking democracy.? Mimi Kennedy, actress, board member, Progressive Democrats of America
