Praise for Noam Chomsky's "Hopes and Prospects"
"A revelation. . . . This is a book woven through with hope and
awe at all the people who slip beyond imperial control and
establish real democracy . . . a treasure-trove."--"The
Independent"
In this collection of essays from 1969 to 2013, many in book
form for the first time, Noam Chomsky examines the nature of state
power, from the ideologies driving the Cold War to the War on
Terror, and reintroduces the moral and legal questions that all too
often go unheeded. With unrelenting logic, he holds the arguments
of empire up to critical examination and shatters the myths of
those who protect the power and privilege of the few against the
interests and needs of the many. A new introduction by Marcus
Raskin contextualizes Chomsky's place among some of the most
influential thinkers of modern history.
Noam Chomsky is Institute Professor in the department of
linguistics and philosophy at MIT. His work is widely credited with
having revolutionized the field of modern linguistics. He is the
author of numerous best-selling political works, which have been
translated into scores of countries worldwide. His most recent
books include the "New York Times" bestseller "Hegemony or
Survival," "Failed States," "Power Systems," "Occupy," and "Hopes
and Prospects."
Marcus Raskin, co-founder of the Institute for Policy Studies
and professor of public policy at George Washington University, is
