211: Swim against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go With the Flow by Jim Hightower

Swim Against the Current: Even a Dead Fish Can Go with the Flow by Jim Hightower

From the Book Description:

"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."


Why this is progressive/liberal: Jim Hightower is a self-described populist. He's managed to carve out a long career as a political writer and commentator, with his own syndicated column and radio show. During the 1980s Hightower was an elected official in Texas, eventually losing to upstart Republican Rick Perry.
