Tom Wodetzski and Toni Rizzo talk with Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author Chris Hedges, author of Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle. Hedges examines commodity culture and the "cult of the self" and sees in it the roots of an illogical, unreflective society which is without compassion and ill-equipped to deal with environmental and economic challenges. Compounding the problem: liberal moral bankruptcy, a corporate media, the fading of print-based society, growing de facto and functional illiteracy. Terrific comments by the audience!
