In the lecture captured on this compact disc, Noam Chomsky presents his evaluation of the Ôprospects for democracyÕ in America in the New World Order.
Beginning with a broad review of democratic theory and political history he argues that the classical democrats like Thomas Jefferson would be shocked at the current disrepair of American democracy.
The enormous growth of corporate capitalism has already devastated democratic culture and government by concentrating power in the hands of the wealthy.
And the future looks no brighter. International trade agreements such as GATT and NAFTA threaten to further inflate corporate power and all but eliminate any public accountability.
