CHRIS HEDGES "WAGES OF REBELLION, THE MORAL IMPERATIVE OF REVOLT"
WE ARE LIVING IN REVOLUTIONARY TIMES...
The vast gulf between political and corporate elites and the struggling masses; the devastation of our environment by faceless, careless corporations; the steady stripping away of civil libertiesall of these have combined to spark a profound revolutionary moment.
We are again riding the crest of a revolutionary epic, much like 1848 or 1917, from the Arab Spring to movements against austerity in Greece to the Occupy movement to the protests in Ferguson. In WAGES OF REBELLION, Chris Hedgeswho has chronicled the malaise and sickness of a society in terminal moral decline in his books Empire of Illusion and Death of the Liberal Classinvestigates what social and psychological factors cause revolution and resistance. Drawing on an ambitious overview of prominent philosophers, historians, and literary figures he shows not only the harbingers of a coming crisis but also the nascent seeds of rebellion.
Hedges' message is clear: popular uprisings in the United States and around the world are inevitable in the face of environmental destruction and wealth polarization.
