In this powerful, sweeping history and analysis of American democracy, Thom Hartmann shows how democracy is the one form of governance most likely to produce peace and happiness among people. With the violent exception of the Civil War, American democracy resisted the pressure to disintegrate into factionalism for nearly two centuries, and now our very system of democratic elections is at stake. So how do we save our democracy?

So much I hadn’t known!
Revisado: 05-04-25
Every high school, senior – and all of us who after even 16 years of education somehow missed a lot of this – should take three hours (at 1.3X) to understand the country they live in and the urgency of the moment. Democracy itself is on the line.

Some of the smartest commentary about what’s happening in America is coming from a comedian—this comedian being Bill Maher. If you want to understand what’s wrong with this country, it turns out that one of the best informed and most thought-provoking analysts is this very funny pothead.

Bill skewers us lefties appropriately and hilariously – just as he skewers you righties.
He’s right about almost everything.
I just wish there were some way everyone in the country could be made to hear him out — and then laugh together about their different views.

Inspired by her research for the hit podcast Ultra, Rachel Maddow charts the rise of a wild American strain of authoritarianism that has been alive on the far-right edge of our politics for the better part of a century. Before and even after our troops had begun fighting abroad in World War II, a clandestine network flooded the country with disinformation aimed at sapping the strength of the U.S. war effort and persuading Americans that our natural alliance was with the Axis, not against it.

Turn-Paging Jaw-Dropping History Everyone Should Know
Revisado: 02-20-24
It is astonishing how many patriotic Americans were on Hitler’s side at least until Pearl Harbor — reaching all the way to Congress. How all this went down, and how few of them — even those literally on Hitler’s payroll — and who the heroes were who uncovered all this make for a 5-star listen.

The Roaring Twenties—the Jazz Age—has been characterized as a time of Gatsby frivolity. But it was also the height of the uniquely American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan. Their domain was not the old Confederacy, but the Heartland and the West. They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise. And the man who set in motion their takeover of great swaths of America was a charismatic charlatan named D.C. Stephenson.

This gripping TRUE story could not be more relevant today. I'm a well-read liberal -- and had NO IDEA of this history. I think you will find yourself wanting to share it with everyone you know.

Advocate discusses the travails of prominent politicians and other well-known individuals, focusing particularly on high-profile congressional and other investigations. Credited with developing the modern system for vetting Democratic vice-presidential candidates, Hamilton recounts his extensive vetting of vice-presidential, cabinet, and Supreme Court candidates-including Joe Biden, John Edwards, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Advocate is a richly detailed history of some of the most sensational and controversial events in Washington politics over the past 50 years.

Fascinating inside stories
Revisado: 01-13-23
The very definition of behind the scenes. One absorbing story after another. (And for what it’s worth, the reader sounds almost exactly like the author, whom I’ve heard speak — so it’s as if it’s being read by the author himself.)

The shift toward automation is about to create a tsunami of unemployment. Not in the distant future - now. One recent estimate predicts 13 million American workers will lose their jobs within the next seven years - jobs that won't be replaced. In a future marked by restlessness and chronic unemployment, what will happen to American society? In The War on Normal People, Andrew Yang paints a dire portrait of the American economy. Rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant.

You’ll want to kill yourself as you listen to the first two thirds. But then take enormous heart as you contemplate the solutions.
The most important few hours you’ll spend all year.
