America: The Farewell Tour

by Chris Hedges

Is America in a state of irrevocable decline? In this provocative and disturbing examination of our country, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges argues that the United States shows unmistakable signs of a dying culture. Hedges argues that neither political party, now captured by corporate power, will address our systemic problem. Until our corporate coup d'état is reversed, our problems will grow and ravage the country. A poignant cry reported from communities across the country, from Atlantic City to San Francisco, it seeks to jolt us out of our complacency while there is still time to take action.
