An excellent introduction to the Chomsky world-view
- Guardian
From one of the worlds most formidable political cartographers, a map of the emerging global economic regime.
In these interviews, Noam Chomsky outlines his views on a wide range of pressing issues including:
- Global Warming
- Free Trade and International Capital
- American Health Care
- Fascism and the Structure of Corporations
- China, Trade and Human Rights
- A Comparison of Chiapas and South Central LA
- Gun Control and the Death Penalty
- The Deterioration of Intellectual Culture
- The Democracy Deficit
- The Politics of the Information Highway
I think Chomskys contribution lies in the fact that he constantly stresses not just the need to be informed and act but that we are all capable of doing so. His own commitment, involvement and accessibility is a concrete example.
