Thom Hartmann is the most prominent of the very few progressive economic and political commentators in America. Wikipedia notes that “In 2008, 2009, and 2010, Talkers Magazine named Hartmann the tenth most important talk show host in America, and number 8 in 2011 defining him as the most important liberal host for four years in a row (the ones above Hartmann are conservatives).”
Thom interviewed me for his TV show The Big Picture yesterday, on the topic of whether we’re in a Depression now, if so how this one compares to the 1930s, and whether such events are a part of capitalism’s natural cyclicality.
Quick update
Thom has rescheduled his special on The Thom Hartmann Program to Wednesday at 2pm New York time, to fit in with my schedule.
