Synopsis
Noam Chomsky is one of the worlds' most respected linguists, yet his radical political ideas, while attracting legions of followers across the globe, have made him a prophet without honour in his own land.
In this selection of interviews, he lays bare the realities of contemporary geopolitics with exceptional clarity and power, including the main goals of US foreign policy, the new global economy, the roots of racism and the coming ecological catastrophe.

External Reviews
'Will there ever again be a public intellectual who commands the attention of so many across the planet?' - New Statesman.
"A good introduction into the truism of the world - that governments and large businesses operate in their own interests and not in the interests of the people they are supposed to serve. I would recommend this book so someone who wants an introductory overview of democratic and anti-capitalist critiques of American foreign policy. Eye-opening insight into the mechanisms through which U.S. government controlled by major corporations routinely undermines states with legitimate democracies. However, quite a depressing read as you begin to recognise the unyielding nature of the force Chomsky attempts to combat."
"A leftist/anarchist point of view, critical to capitalism and current social status and modern human condition. A good first read for those interest in concepts such as, class warfare, global economy, third world countries wars and the roots of racism." - Amazon Reviews.
The Author
Noam Chomsky, in full Avram Noam Chomsky, (born December 7, 1928, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.), American theoretical linguist whose work from the 1950s revolutionized the field of linguistics by treating language as a uniquely human, biologically based cognitive capacity. Through his contributions to linguistics and related fields, including cognitive psychology and the philosophies of mind and language, Chomsky helped to initiate and sustain what came to be known as the “cognitive revolution.” Chomsky also gained a worldwide following as a political dissident for his analyses of the pernicious influence of economic elites on U.S. domestic politics, foreign policy, and intellectual culture.
