Description
Drawing on conversations and lectures spanning decades of political analysis, this collection examines how power operates through government policy, corporate influence, media institutions, and public opinion. Noam Chomsky connects U.S. foreign interventions—from Vietnam onward—with domestic issues including the erosion of social welfare, revealing the broader structures that shape political and economic life. He also considers the possibilities for democratic participation, grassroots activism, and meaningful social change. Accessible, wide-ranging, and sharply critical, the book serves both as an introduction to Chomsky’s ideas and as a substantial overview for longtime readers.
