Chris Hedges On The 'Wages Of Rebellion'

  Whether it's the growing wealth gap in this country or the devastation done to the environment, journalist Chris Hedges believes the United States is primed for a revolutionary moment. On this edition of Up To Date, he talks about the factors that lead to rebellion.

Chris Hedges speaks about his latest book, "Wages of Rebellion: The Moral Imperative of Revolt" at the Central branch of the Kansas City Public Library June 11 at 6:30. For more information, click here.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.

Kansas City needs journalists who show up not just on people’s worst days, but on their best ones — and the boring ones in between. I build relationships across the metro, so our newsroom can bring you critical information when times are tough, and seek out moments of joy to celebrate. Email me at lisa@kcur.org.
