Thought-Provoking Interview: Chris Hedges interviewed by Thom Hartmann
Edited on Fri Jan-07-11 05:01 PM by Mike 03
Chris Hedges' recent works ("Empire of Illusion" and "Death of the Liberal Class") are painful to read, frightening to contemplate, and probably more true than I would like to believe, but what he is saying is very worth considering, IMO.

There are some very interesting presentations and interviews with Hedges on YouTube. Here is a link to a recent interview he did with Thom Hartmann on his new book, "Death of the Liberal Class."

His prior book, "Empire of Illusion", is one of the most important books I have ever read and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
