In particular for making clear the distinction between corporate and oligarchic power, and the consequent changes which we are likely to see. Particularly appreciated are the observations regarding the shift from inverted to classical totalitarianism, and the insight regarding the careerist actions of those in the media and academia.
I read this week (remedially) America: The Farewell Tour and The Death of the Liberal Class.
Grateful for those, as with the rest of the Hedges corpus, for providing a perspective for (hopefully) navigating the times. Somewhat like having a map of Verdun, in 1916: an unfortunate place to find oneself, but it's nevertheless always better to know the lay of the land.
