t r u t h o u t | Dear Truthout Reader,

the Occupy movement steps up its fight against corporate power and inequali=
ty. What better accompaniment to the season than reading Noam Chomsky on Oc=
cupy? (With the book, you'll get a free copy of Tidal magazine, which featu=
res the latest in Occupy theory and strategy.)
Also, make it a progressive spring by choosing from other exciting and thou=
ght-provoking Truthout Progressive Picks of the Month. Get yours now with a=
donation to Truthout - supplies are limited!
"Noam Chomsky: Occupy" [Paperback] (https://members.truth-out.org/bgift82-g=
ift/choose-type-donation): According to independent publisher Zuccotti Park=
Press, "In Occupy, Chomsky comments on the cornerstone issues, questions a=
nd demands that have been driving ordinary Americans into the streets. How =
did we get to this point? How have the wealthiest 1% waged class war agains=
t everyone else for the past 30 years? How can we get money out of politics=
? What would a genuinely democratic election look like? How can we redefine=
basic concepts like 'growth' to increase equality and quality of life for =
all?" With this book, you'll also receive a free copy of Tidal magazine, co=
ntaining the latest in Occupy theory and strategy.
"The Republican Brain: The Science of Why They Deny Science =E2=80=93 and R=
eality" [Book] (https://members.truth-out.org/bgift81-gift/choose-type-dona=
tion): Why do conservatives today believe so many things that can be empiri=
cally disproven? Why do Republicans appear more likely to oppose new ideas =
and less likely to change their beliefs in the face of new facts? And why d=
o they sometimes respond to compelling evidence by doubling down on their c=
urrent beliefs? Science writer Chris Mooney explores brain scans, polls and=
psychology experiments to explain how fiction becomes factoids in the GOP =
mind.
"Koch Brothers Exposed: The 1% at Its Very Worst" [DVD] (https://members.tr=
uth-out.org/bgift80-gift/choose-type-donation): "The Kochs are breathing, h=
uman representatives of the worst of the one percent - it's the way they us=
e their money to advance their economic self-interest and their ideology," =
Executive Producer Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films says. "It's not just=
about having money; it's the use of the money, the use of the power - it's=
the use of the money and power to impress and take advantage of others. An=
d it's the fact that they are fighting tooth and nail to make sure that cap=
italism has absolutely no restraints on it. And capitalism without restrain=
ts is a very ugly beast."
"America Beyond Capitalism: Reclaiming Our Wealth, Our Liberty, and Our Dem=
ocracy" [Paperback] (https://members.truth-out.org/bgift79-gift/choose-type=
-donation): Author Gar Alperovitz gets his hands right into the thick of bu=
ilding models for economic change. This book provides a feasible and inspir=
ing map toward true democracy, as well as a vision of an economy that susta=
ins and fuels humanity, bolstering communities and paving the way for a vib=
rant future. Noam Chomsky says of this book, "It is an impressive achieveme=
nt that should inspire thought and constructive action."
