Death of the Liberal Class

I don't agree with everything Chris Hedges has to say, but I think his prescient words on the liberal class are especially relevant to 2016 and the political quagmire we face today. I perused the book in which this talk is based on and find much of it often accurate, especially as regards the liberal establishment in media, politics, and elsewhere's complicity in the service of power. Hedges is one of the best at articulating complex ideas of Chomsky, Wolin and others for thought-provoking and insightful analysis, and much of it strikes me as particularly pertinent to the Democratic party in 2016.
