WENDELL WARANEN, BENEVOLENT DICTATOR discusses THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

Jim Hightower, author, nationally syndicated columnist, radio commentator, public speaker and editor of the progressive populist newsletter The Hightower Lowdown. A lifetime avid reader on finding early on that "most everything is interesting," J. K. Hillstrom became increasingly concerned on observing this beloved nation's demonstrably backward path brought about primarily by the relentless decades-long pursuit for money and power by controlling individuals and business entities. Also a published writer, he decided to express his concerns in this book for the citizenry's consideration while also suggesting sometimes drastic, yet rational corrections for them that developed into a work somewhat comparable to two semi-iconic predecessor fantasies also written in times of national stress and both well-received by the public, Thomas More's Utopia of 1516 and Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward in 1887.
