Bill Moyers Question: Days Of Destruction, Days Of Revolt Is A Tough Book. It’s Not Dispatches From
Bill Moyers Question: Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt is a tough book. It’s not Dispatches from Disneyworld. It paints some very stark portraits of poverty, despair, destructive behaviour. What makes you think people want to read that sort of thing these days?
Chris Hedges Answer: That’s not a question that Joe Sacco and I ever asked. It is absolutely imperative that we begin to understand what unfettered, unregulated capitalism does – the violence of that system.
