I'm reading Chris Hedges' America: The Farewell Tour.
I've always been interested in him. This is the first book of his I've read. Interesting guy. Obviously, from the title you can infer that this is not a book that promises a rosy picture of the future, and he blames capitalism for most of the ills of our, in his words, hedonistic, narcissistic society--from igniting foolish wars, to exploiting the poor, to advancing consequences of climate change, to buying politicians, to warehousing and exploiting prisoners, to setting the stage for mass malaise leading to addiction.
