IN OUR ORBIT
Two years ago, Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hedges and award-winning cartoonist and journalist Joe Sacco set out for America's sacrifice zones, places like Camden, NJ and the coal fields of West Virginia, where the market place rules and human beings are ruthlessly exploited to
maximize profit. Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt (Nation Books) is the searing account of their travels. In an interview on Bill Moyers' show, Moyers & Company, Hedges discussed the reality of our destructive economy and corporate-owned political system. In this video, Moyers and Hedges discuss the vast swaths of America "that have been destroyed for quarterly profit." Check out the book today.
