We discuss the stories, strategies and ideas raised in his timely new book.\n\nThe key to fighting back successfully is to have a strategy and know how to read and write power,” but most people have no understanding of power and how to use it.  \n\nPolitical illiteracy is one reason we feel so powerless. “I think the reality of American life, right now, is that so many people have neither the motivation nor the ability to read or write power,” Eric tells us. “They lapse into this “House of Cards” or dark conspiratorial vision that all politics are like \"Scandal,” and out of that are born people like Donald Trump as President.” \n\nLook for solutions and links to useful sites at our website, howdowefixit.me.
