About this title

From the Back Cover

In Talking About a Revolution, you will find:

Noam Chomsky on GOALS:

"There are big efforts to make people feel helpless, as if there is some kind of mysterious economic law that forces things to happen in a particular way, like the law of gravitation. That is just nonsense. [Illegitimate institutions] are human institutions, they are subject to human will. They can be eliminated like other tyrannical institutions have been."

Howard Zinn on the FUTURE:

"The success or failure of what we strive for can never be predicted; the only thing that can be predicted is that if we don't try to do something about economic justice, race and gender discrimination, nothing good will happen."
