Noam Chomsky
! This is a powerful book indeed, The facts are there for those willing to check them out, For some people this maybe hard to acknowledge , but Chomsky is writing an account of History that everybody should take a time to read and investigate.
In so doing , I am sure that you will have a new understanding of how things are , how the world really works and why.
When you read all those books praising globalization , world free trade and neoliberal economicstake a time and verifygo to the real worldand see what is really happening to the majority of the peopleCapitalism is a better system , I'm surebut some adjustments need to be done to the way the big economies are trying to impose it to the little countries.
It is creating poverty and social unrest, . and I am afraid that there will come a time when we are not going to be able to control this For anyone trying to understand US policy and its origins and history, this book is an essential tool.
Although this edition only goes up to, it contains predictions that have so far come to pass, I would like to see an edition updated to, As usual, Chomsky's analyses and syntheses are eye opening and answer the many questions that lurk around the edges of the current and former foreign and domestic policy of our government.
A masterly work Chomsky can always be relied on as an American dissident Chomsky continues to deliver the unpleasant truth.
Excellent, thank you. Exploring the great work of subjugation and conquest which began with Columbus, in YearChomsky surveys the history of American imperial power in the ensuingyears that followed.
Touching on everything from the British in India to the Americans in Beirut, Yearis a searing condemnation of the excesses of Western colonial and neo colonial politics.
For those seeking to understand the nature and structure of the imperial project as it reaches down to us today this work is a vital resource.
More notes for a book than a book, Typical Chomsky: one third genius, one third commonplace, one third
way wide of the mark, My second Chomsky book after Manufacturing Consent, Personally I like this book much, Less of a case study type read and right down to it, Great! He quotes Roosevelt as saying during WWII: if Germany is winning, we'll help the Russians, if the Russians are winning, we'll help the Germans.
Moreover, he cited to studies showing that the productive power of countries with strong craft unions is greater than those counties such as the U.
S. that do not. He also quoted Lawrence Summers as blaming poor countries for the environmental crisis by choosing to set oil prices low.
A chapter on Cuba points out how, despite utter poverty throughout the's, its people are still better off economically visavis other Latin American countries and egalitarian.
Finally, he Reminds us that Carter failed to fundamentally criticize Vietnam, saying there was destruction on both sides that while a near genocide was taking place in Indonesia, he increased the supply of weapons to its Govt, including jets.
still reading it. a perspective of truth denied us as all we knew and were taught in school was only about the 'good west and europeans who discovered everything and all others were savages''.
i think this world order is collapsing as there are new players vying for world power, This book is a summary of all the European conquest of the world in a book which holds less thanpages.
