America’s most irascible and hilarious curmudgeon turns a kind and benevolent eye toward brave, hardy, and hardworking souls around the country who have found ways to break free from corporate tentacles; redefine success in business, politics, and life in general; and blaze new pathways toward a richer and happier way of life, from the farmers’ cooperative that said “NO!” to Wal-Mart and thrived to the economists who got into the coffee business by accident and turned the entire industry on its ear.

07/04/2008: An entertaining introduction to what ails the Nation. Neo- Con politics & Corporate Greed followed by an apathetic citizenry who cries I am just one man what can I do? This has gotten America into its current state. If you are just waking up to what the Neo-Cons are doing politically and Corporate Globalization is doing economically & environmentally to this country, this book will be an informative look at what some people are doing to buck the system. It also has an excellent list of organizations that will help you get involved if you should so choose. If you are already a populist and active in the socio, economic, political arena this is just preaching to the choir but a good sermon is always refreshing nonetheless. Well worth the read.
