06.10: Chris Hedges
2015-05-18 22:04:43| Powells Books Events Calendar
Revolutions come in waves and cycles. 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. In Wages of Rebellion (Nation), Chris Hedges — who has chronicled the malaise and sickness of a society in terminal moral decline in his books Empire of Illusion and Death of the Liberal Class — investigates what social and psychological factors cause revolution, rebellion, and resistance. Drawing on an ambitious overview of prominent philosophers, historians, and literary figures, Hedges shows not only the harbingers of a coming crisis but also the nascent seeds of rebellion.
