DESCRIPTION:Revolutions come in waves and cycles. We are again riding the crest of a 
 revolutionary epic, much like 1848 or 1917, from the Arab Spring to 
 movements against austerity in Greece to the Occupy Movement.  In Wages of 
 Rebellion, Chris Hedges - who has chronicled the malaise and sickness of a 
 society in terminal moral decline in his books, Empire of Illusion and 
 Death of the Liberal Class- investigates what social and psychological 
 factors cause revolution, rebellion, and resistance. Drawing on an 
 ambitious overview of prominent philosophers, historians and literary 
 figures, he shows not only the harbingers of a coming crisis but also the 
 nascent seeds of rebellion. Hedges' message is clear: popular uprisings in 
 the United States and around the world are inevitable in the face of 
 mounting environmental destruction and grotesque wealth 
 polarization.\n\nFocusing on the stories of rebels from around the world 
 and throughout history, Hedges investigates just what it takes to be a 
 rebel in modern times.  For Hedges, resistance is carried out not simply 
 for its success, but as a moral imperative that affirms life. \n\nA 
 Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges spent nearly two decades as 
 a correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa, and the 
 Balkans, with fifteen years at The New York Times.  Among his bestselling 
 books are: Empire of Illusion, Death of the Liberal Class; War Is a Force 
 That Gives Us Meaning; and Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt (written 
 with Joe Sacco). He currently writes a weekly column for 
 Truthdig.\n\nHosted by Richard Wolinsky, the veteran producer and host of 
 Book Waves, an interview show broadcast on KPFA Radio.\n\n$15 advance
