America at War with Itself (City Lights Open Media) [Paperback] Giroux, Henry A.

Radical because he rejects the superficial criticisms of liberalism and delves into the root causes of the democratic decay. Giroux connects the dots between reckless greed, corporate impunity, poverty, mass incarceration, racism, and the co-opting of education that stifles critical thinking and fosters a culture that devalues and even criminalizes civil society and the public good.
