Two world-renowned figures of contemporary politics come together to debate alternatives for
the future: José "Pepe" Mujica former President of Uruguay and an ex-guerrilla who acquired an
international following for his message of sustainability and common sense and Noam Chomsky
who revolutionized linguistics and has become a beacon for radical thinking around the world.
From the meeting of these peerless figures emerge reflections on the major global issues of our
time: climate change corruption populism the crisis of capitalism and the logic of the
market economy among many others. Speaking especially to younger generations who inherited an
unstable world Chomsky and Mujica emphasize the values required to survive the challenges of
the twenty-first century and to build a new world: democracy freedom humility and
friendship. Brought together by Mexican activist Saúl Alvídrez Chomsky and Mujica offer a wise
and passionate guide to salvaging the future.
