Brilliant writing by Thom
You're most welcome, firstandten. Of course all credit goes to Thom Hartmann. He's actually giving this book away. That shows he's not just in it for himself. He really cares about these issues. It's always refreshing to find intelligence and common sense in the same book.

One of my pet peeves about education is the disconnect between universities and the workplace. There are too many cases where useful ideas from school never get applied in industry where they should. It seems as though those who call the shots in industry often aren't even aware of better ways to operate.

Another scary problem is the skyrocketing cost of education to students. I write this as the London student riots are being covered on CNN. Imagine the future societal loss due to students being denied free access to education today.
