Book Review: Death of the Liberal Class by Chris Hedges

The function of America's Liberal Class, consisting of the church, universities, press and labor unions was to protect those most vulnerable to the dangers of unfettered capitalism and its consequences.  Now, with a corporate domination of these very institutions, they are serving the very interests they once defied.  Pulitzer Prize winning Journalist and NY Times Bestselling Author, Chris Hedges depicts the tragedies that an impotent Liberal Class is sure to bring about.  From his own travels observations, to interviews with respected individuals across the spectrum, Hedges criticizes America's lack of Free Trade ethics, our role in boosting the military-industrial complex and a general lack of criticizing the Power Elite by the mass media, church and academia.  A shocking reference to our unsustainable and unmoral practices.
