The Death of the Liberal Class by Chris Hedges

challenging informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

This book was recommended to me by a colleague, and I was fully expecting it to simply be a regurgitation of my own beliefs with nothing new for me to learn. Fortunately for me, I was mistaken. Granted that many of the ideas were not necessarily new to me, the factual evidence and anecdotal evidence opened my eyes that I don’t really pay attention to politics and the world around me as much as I thought I did. Hedges makes plain the fact that the Democratic Party has failed the people and functions as the Republican Party under a different name. I’m reading this book 15 years after it was published and it is shocking how well he predicted the future of America. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to begin understanding the political climate we are in and how it came to be.
