Chris Hedges at Flood Wall Street: "Capitalism Exploits Humans"
Is global warming a defect of free market capitalism?
HD Download"It's corporate capitalism that has commodified human beings and commodified the ecosystem that [it] then exploits to exhaustion or collapse," Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Chris Hedges told Kmele Foster (who was reporting for Reason TV) at yesterday's Flood Wall Street protest. That tipped off a fiery exchange between the two journalists over the merits of free market capitalism that touched on Reconstruction, Aristotle, factories in Bangladesh, agribusiness, grocery shopping in New York City, and much much more. It's worth watching the full 12-minute exchange!
