Chris Hedges' Capitalism and Sacrifice

Intrepid reporter Chris Hedges recently appeared on Bill Moyers' programme to discuss the problem of the destructive nature of unfettered capitalism. Hedges presents a view of what unblinkered "free-market" capitalism has wrought on the American landscape. [Hedges' appearance is in support of his recent book, Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt.] It is an earnest and important discussion that has radical implications for the future of American society as a whole.

Hedges is also the author of several other important books, such as Death of the Liberal Class and I Don't Believe in Athiests.

Hedges' appearance can be seen here.
