Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Here is a major collection from 'arguably the most important intellectual alive' (the New York Times). Noam Chomsky is universally accepted as one of the pre-eminent public intellectuals of the modern era. Over the past thirty years, broadly diverse audiences have gathered to attend his sold-out lectures. Now, in Understanding Power, Peter Mitchell and John Schoeffel have assembled the best of Chomsky's recent talks on the past, present, and future of the politics of power.In a series of enlightening and wide-ranging discussions, all published here for the first time, Chomsky radically reinterprets the events of the past three decades, covering topics from foreign policy during Vietnam to the decline of welfare under the Clinton administration. And as he elucidates the connection between America's imperialistic foreign policy and the decline of domestic social services, Chomsky also discerns the necessary steps to take toward social change.With an eye to political activism and the media's role in popular struggle, as well as US foreign and domestic policy, Understanding Power offers a sweeping critique of the world around us and is definitive Chomsky. Characterised by Chomsky's accessible and informative style, this is the ideal book for those new to his work as well as for those who have been listening for years.'Arguably the most important intellectual alive.'-The New York Times'Chomsky ranks with Marx, Shakespeare, and the Bible as one of the ten most quoted sources in the humanities.'-The Guardian'Few contemporary public intellectuals have achieved such universal prominence as Noam Chomsky, and Understanding Power showcases his appeal. The collection consists of transcribed interviews and discussion over a wide range of subjects, and Chomsky comes across as effortlessly learned, while remaining completely accessible and urbane. He is devastating on US foreign policy, although his line on activism in effecting social change is thoroughly depressing. The major effect, as he points out, is that governments continue to do most of the evil things that they were going to do anyway - but they do it more inefficiently - because they cannot risk arousing the ire of the public by taking the nearest way.'-The Age Imprint.
