It says a lot about the state of our political culture that the best interview of Doug Feith was conducted by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. That's not to take anything away from Stewart - as usual, he manages to be funny, astute, and (mostly) respectful while revealing his guest as a disingenuous, dissembling weasel.

"In his groundbreaking new book Bottom Up: Tapping the Power of the Connection Revolution, Rob Kall invites and eases us into in a much-needed meta-level shift -- a truly basic paradigmatic shift from top-down to bottom-up. He capably and imaginatively explores the differences between these ways of approaching life, clearly demonstrating that bottom-up allows us to flourish. His vision and his book are enriched by telling references to interviews which he has engaged in over the years with bottom-up researchers, theorists, activists, and dreamers in a variety of areas. Think about Rob's interviews. Read this revolutionary book. And take one step further into the bottom-up universe yourself. You will not regret it."
