Description: Jim Hightower, America's favorite political subversive, is still mad as hell, and he's not going to take it anymore. But he will give you a sizable piece of his mind on Election Year 2000. This plain-talking, name-naming, podium pounding populist zeros in on everything that ails us, from the global economy and media to big business and election winners everwhere. In his hardhitting commentary and hilarious anecdotes, Hightower spares no one, including the sacred cows, -and especially the politicians--who helped steer us into this mess in the first place. An equal opportunity muckraker and a conscientious agitator for "We the People," Hightower inspires us to take charge again, build a new politics for a better tomorrow--and have a lot of laughs along the way.
