Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Chris Hedges discusses his new book America: The Farewell Tour.  Hedges says many of the diseases Americans are suffering from such as drug abuse, gambling, suicide, magical thinking, xenophobia, and a culture of sadism and hate are really symptoms of larger issues like unemployment, deindustrialization, and a collective sense of hopelessness that have resulted in an epidemic of diseases of despair.  This segment is guest hosted by Duarte Geraldino.
