Why is the Atlantic slowly filling with crude petroleum, threatening a millions-of-years-old ecological balance? Why did traders at prominent banks take high-risk gambles with the money entrusted to them by hundreds of thousands of clients around the world, expanding and leveraging their investments to the point that failure led to a global financial crisis that left millions of people jobless and hundreds of cities economically devastated?

Because We Say So presents more than 30 concise, forceful commentaries on US politics and global power. Written between 2011 and 2015, Noam Chomsky's arguments forge a persuasive counternarrative to official accounts of US politics and policies during global crisis.

In this urgent new book, Noam Chomsky examines the dangers and prospects of our early 21st century. Exploring challenges such as the growing gap between North and South, American exceptionalism (including under President Obama), the fiascos of Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S.-Israeli assault on Gaza, and the recent recent financial bailouts, he also sees hope for the future. Chomsky surveys the democratic wave in Latin America and the growing global solidarity movements.

Making the Future presents more than 50 concise and persuasively argued commentaries on U.S. politics and policies, written between 2007 and 2011. Taken together, Chomsky's essays present a powerful counter-narrative to official accounts of the major political events of the past four years: the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; the U.S. presidential race; the ascendancy of China; Latin America's leftward turn; the threat of nuclear proliferation in Iran and North Korea; Israel's invasion of Gaza and more.

From interpreting the world to changing it, a synthesis of Chomsky's early work on philosophy, linguistics, and politics. Originally delivered in 1971 as the first Cambridge lectures in memory of Bertrand Russell, Problems of Knowledge and Freedom is a masterful and cogent synthesis of Noam Chomsky's moral philosophy, linguistic analysis, and emergent political critique of America's war in Vietnam.

In his 1988 CBC Massey Lecture, Noam Chomsky inquires into the nature of the media in a political system where the population cannot be disciplined by force and thus must be subjected to more subtle forms of ideological control. Specific cases are illustrated in detail, using the U.S. media primarily but also media in other societies.

In a single volume, the seminal writings of the world's leading philosopher, linguist, and critic, published to coincide with his 80th birthday. For the past 40 years Noam Chomsky's writings on politics and language have established him as a preeminent public intellectual and as one of the most original and wide-ranging political and social critics of our time. Among the seminal figures in linguistic theory over the past century, since the 1960s Chomsky has also secured a place as perhaps the leading dissident voice in the United States.

The United States has repeatedly asserted its right to intervene militarily against "failed states" around the globe. In this much-anticipated sequel to his international best seller Hegemony or Survival, Noam Chomsky turns the tables, charging the United States with being a "failed state", and therefore a danger to its own people and the world.

The world's foremost intellectual activist narrates his irrefutable analysis of America's pursuit of total domination and the catastrophic consequences that are sure to follow. "Reading Chomsky today is sobering and instructive . . . He is a global phenomenon . . . perhaps the most widely read...

Noam Chomsky spoke to nearly 1,300 concerned citizens about the invasion and occupation of Iraq and the implications for U.S. foreign policy. Chomsky began with a review and analysis of the State of the Union Address and other necessary allusions. He wondered aloud when the U.S. will become a part of the world justice system instead of outside it. Chomsky pointed out how the U.S. government had opened a Pandora's Box with their loose interpretation of pre-emptive strike.

Eindrücklich wie nie zuvor klärt Chomsky über die existentiellen Bedrohungen durch Atomwaffen und den Klimawandel auf. Er stellt diese Bedrohungen in den Kontext einer nie dagewesenen globalen Macht der Konzerne, die mittlerweile die führende Rolle bei der Gestaltung unserer Zukunft übernommen haben. Noam Chomsky zeigt, dass sich globale Volksbewegungen mobilisieren müssen, um die Regierungen zu zwingen, sich der beispiellosen Herausforderung für das Überleben unserer Zivilisation zu stellen.

Noam Chomsky ist einer der wichtigsten Denker der Gegenwart. Der emeritierte MIT-Professor am weltbekannten Massachusetts Institute of Technology gilt als ein "Mann für alles". In diesem Buch spricht Chomsky über die großen Fragen: Warum herrscht auf unserer Welt weiterhin so viel Ungleichheit? Leben wir bereits in der Dystopie? Steht die Menschheit am Rande der Selbstauslöschung? Warum begehren die "99 Prozent" nicht gegen die "Eliten", die "Herren der Menschheit", wie Chomsky sie einst nannte, auf?

Chomsky disecciona los diez principios fundamentales de la concentración de la riqueza y el poder en Estados Unidos, que a efectos prácticos han secuestrado la democracia en favor de los intereses de una élite políticofinanciera, sumiendo a un gran porcentaje de la población en la miseria y desesperanza más absolutas. Con su habitual agudeza, Chomsky muestra cómo los principales excesos y rasgos espeluznantes de la realidad estadounidense forman parte de una estrategia integral por parte de la casta dominante para aferrarse al poder y a los privilegios que éste conlleva. 

In this all new collection of conversations, Noam Chomsky explores the most immediate and urgent concerns: Iran’s challenge to the United States, the deterioration of the Israel-Palestine conflict, the ongoing occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, the rise of China, and the growing power of the left in Latin America, as well as the Democratic victory in the U.S. midterm elections and its ramifications for the future.

An essential primer on capitalism, politics and how the world works, based on the hugely popular undergraduate lecture series 'What Is Politics?' Is there an alternative to capitalism? In this landmark text Chomsky and Waterstone chart a critical map for a more just and sustainable society. 'COVID-19 has revealed glaring failures and monstrous brutalities in the current capitalist system. It represents both a crisis and an opportunity. Everything depends on the actions that people take into their own hands.'
