Among the Most Life-Changing Books I've Read

October 14, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

An absolutely enlightening assessment of U.S. policies that is a must-read whether you are a student of history, seeking to make sense of the how we've gotten to this point today where we spend more on military than the next top 5 spenders combined and neglect our homeland while funneling billions abroad, or just interested in being an informed citizen wary of the propaganda and narrative the U.S. spins of how we are the exceptional "indispensable nation" that protects freedom globally and is the worlds police. To the contrary, Chomsky makes clear we will do anything to protect our interests (interests ranging from protecting multinational corporations, securing natural resources for next to nothing, forcing open markets, ensuring friendly governments are in power in an ever-expanding definition of "strategic" countries by all means necessary and support us in all we do in a "you're either with us or against us" mentality, and much more) including overthrowing democratically elected governments either directly or by supporting rebel and/or terrorist groups, supporting dictators who commit incredibly atrocious crimes against humanity, risk the very annihilation of our species with nuclear war, and much more abhorrent acts that we ascribe only to totalitarian regimes.

Combined with Chomsky's other work, particularly "Manufacturing Consent" that speaks of how the government secures our willingness in this enterprise using the media as its propaganda tool deceptively brilliantly, you can quickly learn how we are not who we think we are, be more aware of attempts to manipulate your opinion and avoid such traps, and be an agent of change, among many important lessons. I strongly recommend these books if you seek any of this, and especially if you are at a loss as to why we do what we do, how we do it, and seek to rise above the traps many have fallen victim to.

Even if you vehemently disagree with Chomsky, not to read him is, as The Nation reviews, "to court genuine ignorance." For he is, as the New York Times points out, "arguably the most important intellectual alive."

The Planet - and The Species - you may save could be your own!

August 10, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

An excellent book, meticulously documented and precisely supported with references and footnotes by Noam Chomsky- developing - and addressing - the question of whether the existence of humans will continue, or turn out to have been an evolutionary mistake as having been too "smart" and destructive [a] for our own survival and/or [b] too damaging to the habitat to permit the survival of not only the species, but life itself. The book explicates the extent to which a biological "crash" would bring down the habitat for all of life on Earth. This is NOT a "science fiction" book forecasting a dystopian future of possible survivors in a post-atomic war, trying to recreate "civilization" [to rebuild for the next atomic war?], but addresses the reality that all life on earth could be extinguished by the actions of a single life form - our own.
A clearly written, and sobering analysis of what our [potentially limited] future may be if we [or our "leaders"] do not understand or accept scientific and political realities, with all life on earth being held - literally - in the balance. Should be required reading for anyone running for office - from School Board to President. A rational, insightful and brilliant text: no surprise for a Chomsky book.

Elliot's Reviews

Where have we been and are going?

May 2, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Noam Chomsky, a well-known left-wing academic, writes here about globalization's political impact as a main point of the U.S. foreign policy. Political economics is very sensitive subject, but Chomsky in this book attacks as he argues that U.S. foreign policy has been imperialist and heavy handed since World War I. He speaks of that in the invasion of Iraq, and elsewhere, the U.S. disregarded the U.N. as well as public opinion at home and abroad. Chomsky makes important points, but I feel he would have a larger and politically more diverse audience if he developed a more detailed andd less harsh sounding writing style, provided more background on some events he covers, particularly America's political and military interventions. He is provocative, harsh and very negative about the U.S. even calling us a "terrorist state." For me despite beliefs very different from my own this book helped me to gain more and a better insight into our country's politics

Noam Chomsky's Stellar Intellect

January 27, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Noam Chomsky is a unique being who has ingested vast amounts of information and arrived at contrary conclusions about the history and state of this country.. Although we see ourselves as a beneficent power, he reveals the reality. Many other writers have also written sobering evaluations of our economy, our government, the recent wars, and the military-industrial complex. It's a shame that our politicians seem short on intellectual curiosity and adhere to old formulations. (Which just happen to be very profitable for them.)
It will be too bad for us when he is no longer around to urge us to think more clearly.

A Cynical, Yet Real, Picture of The World

February 17, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Mr. Chomsky shows us how power corrupts, and, as Lord Acton once said, "Absolute power corrupts absolutely."

The country with absolute power is the USA, and it is corrupt, but not as corrupt as say Brazil, where I currently reside.

Still, the USA has about 700 military bases around the world, more than it has embassies. Why does the USA need 700 military bases?

Because it wants to control the world, that is why.

And the rest of the masses only want to shop at Walmart. To hell with how much they pay yellow people.

For this, I only give Mr. Chomsky three stars, because he fails to understand that most people simply do not give a s##t.

Actually, Mr. Chomsky understands, I am sure. He is much too smart not to understand. But I think, after living in Brazil, I am coming to realize that the USA is NOT such a bad place.
