Description
Noam Chomsky's latest work explores the Occupy movement and its impact on our world. Since its emergence in 2011, the movement has spread globally, with its messages now resonating across street protests, op-ed pages, and the highest seats of power.
Through talks and conversations with movement supporters, this book presents Chomsky's thoughts on the central issues driving ordinary people to protest. The author critiques corporate corruption, advocates for increased civic participation, economic equality, democracy, and freedom, and explores how we can redefine concepts like 'growth' to increase quality of life for all.
Chomsky examines key questions such as how wealth inequality affects us, how money influences politics, and what a genuinely democratic election would look like. This book is a vital contribution to the literature of defiance and protest, offering a rallying call to forge a better future.
