October 25, 2018: Chris Hedges: Root Causes of a Failed System
America, says Chris Hedges, is convulsed by an array of pathologies that have arisen out of profound hopelessness, a bitter despair and a civil society that has ceased to function. As our society unravels, we also face global upheaval caused by catastrophic climate change. Trump rode this disenchantment to power. Hedges argues that neither political party, now captured by corporate power, addresses the systemic problem. He sounds a urgent warning to jolt us out of our passivity and complacency. With the dangers facing the country and the planet this is no time to be sitting on the fence.
