Nader interviews Chris Hedges.
Nader and Hedges discuss the latter’s new book, America: The Farewell Tour.
“I don’t think the collapse of empire is necessarily a negative. At this point, empire has become a deeply destructive force not only for our own country but globally. We see with endless warfare—seventeen years of warfare now in the Middle East—the inability of the corporate state to deal in a rational way with climate change or restrict or control the financial institutions that have become completely predatory and have already reconfigured the United States into an oligarchy, where it becomes impossible to vote against the interests of Goldman Sachs or Citibank or Raytheon or any of these other large corporations.” —Chris Hedges
