Description
Understanding Power: A Radical Reinterpretation of Politics and Social Change by Noam Chomsky. In this collection of talks, Noam Chomsky offers a wide-ranging analysis of the past three decades, covering topics from foreign policy during the Vietnam War to the decline of welfare under the Clinton administration. He elucidates the connection between America's imperialistic foreign policy and social inequalities at home, and discerns the necessary steps to take toward social change. Chomsky's accessible and informative style makes this book an ideal introduction to his work for new readers, while also providing valuable insights for those already familiar with his ideas. The talks are characterized by a critical examination of U.S. foreign and domestic policy, as well as the role of the media in popular struggle.
