Chris Hedges: Death of the Liberal Class
The liberal class plays a vital role in a democracy, says Chris Hedges, but once it loses its social and political role, it—along with the values it espouses—becomes irrelevant, ridiculed, even hated. Picking up where Empire of Illusion left off, Hedges, author of The Death of the Liberal Class, argues that the traditional pillars of the liberal class—the press, liberal religious institutions, labor unions, universities, and the Democratic Party—are now more concerned with status and privilege than justice and progress: They have sold out. Presented by the Town Hall Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company.
