1. America, The Farewell Tour by Chris Hedges
The Farewell Tour
A searing diagnosis of national decline that argues corporate capitalism, militarism, and a corrupt political class have hollowed out democratic institutions and civic life; through reporting from deindustrialized towns, veterans, addicts, and displaced workers, it portrays social fragmentation, cultural decay, and the rise of authoritarian impulses, and calls for moral resistance, community rebuilding, and radical dissent to avert further collapse.
