Hightower is most often called a populist, but he just shrugs it off and starts pointing out features of the real world that the rich and powerful would rather people did not notice. Here he and co-conspirator Susan DeMarco present vignettes of how once-ordinary people are fighting corruption and injustice in business, politics, and life, often by providing an alternative to the mainstream.
