Chris Hedges: Capitalism’s ‘Sacrifice Zones’

There are forgotten corners of the U.S. where Americans are trapped in endless cycles of poverty, powerlessness, and despair as a direct result of capitalistic greed.  Journalist Chris Hedges calls these places “sacrifice zones,” -Camden, New Jersey; Immokalee, Florida; and parts of West Virginia suffer while the corporations that plundered them thrive.

“These are areas that have been destroyed for quarterly profit.  We’re talking about environmentally destroyed, communities destroyed, human beings destroyed, families destroyed”
