CRIME AND NO PUNISHMENT

Crime and No Punishment

How concentrated economic and political power in America protects elites and fosters violence of all kinds.⁠

Chris Hedges Report  July 23, 2026

In the opening chapter of Maria Gashot’s book, Crime and No Punishment: Wealth, Power, and Violence in America, a chapter titled Social Murder, she writes, “The United States is an exceptionally militarized, lethal, and violent country. The growing concentration of economic, political, and military power is draining America of vital resources to sustain healthy and peaceful communities.”
