Sinossi
Noam Chomsky ci aggiorna sui temi più importanti del nostro tempo. Dalla guerra in Ucraina, col suo tremendo spargimento di sangue e l’ombra inconcepibile del conflitto atomico in agguato, alla crisi della democrazia americana (che riguarda tutti), con un Partito Repubblicano ormai avviato a divenire un’organizzazione prefascista e i democratici, compreso lo stesso presidente Biden, che non paiono in grado di assumere le decisioni drastiche oggi necessarie, mentre il trumpismo diventa perfino un «modello» all’estero; dall’emergenza climatica, a cui diventa ogni giorno più importante rispondere in modo adeguato, dandole la massima priorità, al ruolo della Cina nell’assetto globale, in bilico verso una nuova guerra fredda: su tutto questo (e molto altro) il grande intellettuale offre interpretazioni quanto mai lucide, abbinando un tono pacato a un estremo rigore e a prese di posizione nettissime, nella consapevolezza che solo agendo e mobilitandosi si può sperare nel futuro del pianeta.
Questa edizione italiana presenta un’intervista esclusiva a Noam Chomsky della curatrice italiana Valentina Nicolì, ulteriore arricchimento e aggiornamento di un’opera già preziosa.

In case you were wondering about Chomsky’s thoughts about Biden’s presidency, here it is. Basically a series of interviews until the beginning of the crisis in Gaza, Chomsky begins with a somewhat optimistic stance toward Biden and through a series of interviews on climate, the Russian-Ukraine war, Leggi tutto
He does it again. Classic Chomsky updated for 2020-2022. However I do disagree with the benevolence of China in the global south and lack of suspicions towards their actions

"Book banning is nothing new in the US and suppressing votes of the "wrong" people is as American as apple pie." ----------- I really didn't know what to expect beyond leftist sentiments when I started this. I think it was just too radical and Chomsky was near-vitriolic in his hatred (apparently) of t Leggi tutto
This was truly wonderful. Immersive and well structured. It felt like a breath of fresh air after being taught certain IR issues mainly through the lens of realism. Highly recommend! It’s also refreshing to see an older (respectfully) person be so adamant about climate change issues.
We need free education and education for young white males who glorify war ASAP. But anti us military and anti jfk, pro soviet propaganda were off the line.
Do I need to tell you who Noam Chomsky is? I don’t, right? If you don’t know who he is, you’d best Google him and learn about the stuff he’s written and said. Whether you agree with his viewpoints or not, Chomsky is always worth reading and his perspective always worth considering on topics. He’s ou Leggi tutto
