WHO RULES THE WORLD? - NOAM CHOMSKY KARTONIERT ...

A New York Times Bestseller    The world's leading intellectual offers a probing examination of
the waning American Century  the nature of U.S. policies post-9 11  and the perils of valuing
power above democracy and human rights   In an incisive  thorough analysis of the current
international situation  Noam Chomsky argues that the United States  through its military-first
policies and its unstinting devotion to maintaining a world-spanning empire  is both risking
catastrophe and wrecking the global commons. Drawing on a wide range of examples  from the
expanding drone assassination program to the threat of nuclear warfare  as well as the
flashpoints of Iraq  Iran  Afghanistan  and Israel Palestine  he offers unexpected and nuanced
insights into the workings of imperial power on our increasingly chaotic planet.  In the
process  Chomsky provides a brilliant anatomy of just how U.S. elites have grown ever more
insulated from any democratic constraints on their power. While the broader population is
lulled into apathy-diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable-the corporations and the
rich have increasingly been allowed to do as they please.  Fierce  unsparing  and meticulously
documented  Who Rules the World? delivers the indispensable understanding of the central
conflicts and dangers of our time that we have come to expect from Chomsky.
