Swim Against the Current : Even a Dead Fish

America's most irascible and hilarious curmudgeon turns a kind and benevolent eye toward brave, hardy, and hardworking souls around the country who have found ways to break free from corporate tentacles; redefine success in business, politics, and life in general; and blaze new pathways toward a richer and happier way of life, from the farmers' cooperative that said "NO!" to Wal-Mart and thrived to the economists who got into the coffee business by accident and turned the entire industry on its ear.

Jim Hightower is a syndicated columnist, national radio commentator, the publisher of the Hightower Lowdown newsletter, and the New York Times bestselling author of Thieves in High Places. Susan Demarco is a writer, former radio talk-show host, public-interest activist, and longtime Hightower partner-in-crime.
