“Populism is at its essence just determined focus on helping people be able to get out of the iron grip of the corporate power that is overwhelming our economy, our environment, energy, the media, government. One big difference between real populism and what the Tea Party thing is, is that real populists understand that government has become a subsidiary of corporations. So you can't say, let's get rid of government. You need to be saying let's take over government.” PeopleNeedsRealHelpingBigsGovernmentAbleEnergyDifferencesPartyEconomyEnvironmentFocusMediaEssenceDeterminedTeaCorporateCorporationsIronOverwhelmingHelping PeopleOur EnvironmentTea PartyPopulistPopulism Author:Jim Hightower

“People are more likely to search for specific books in which they are actively interested and that justify all of that effort of reading them.

“The inherent non-linearity of the digital allows for more input from others, including the subject and reader as collaborators. The top-down, bedtime-style story is of limited use. A non-linear narrative that allows for increased complexity and depth, and encourages both subject and reader to have greater involvement, will eventually emerge more fully from the digital environment.
