books by Noam Chomsky     books:       The Uses of Haiti (3rd Edition)17 reviews Paul Farmer Common Courage Press, 2005 Haiti's History Paul Farmer is a wonderful human being who has devoted his life to helping the poor of Haiti get medical care. This is barely mentioned in the book. To me, this gives his opinions even more credibility. He details the abuses of Haiti by our hegemony and then details the reasons for these abuses. I had always suspected the reasons, and my suspicions were confirmed. I wanted my opinions ...             Profit Over People: Neoliberalism & Global Order31 reviews Noam Chomsky, Robert W. McChesney Seven Stories Press, 2003 Neo-Liberalism In Every Aspect Of Our Lives "Profit Over People" is very sobering work by McChesney and Chomsky about a topic that exists in virtually all aspects of our lives. However, it's rarely defined nor even mentioned in the American mainstream media. There are reasons for this. A lack of interest for details by the public and a mainstream media that doesn't cover the topic. In addition, the US was founded by and for the elitist ...             What We Say Goes: Conversations on U.S. Power in a Changing World (American Empire Project)24 reviews Noam Chomsky, David Barsamian Metropolitan Books, 2007 Fine critique of US (and therefore British) foreign policy Chomsky consistently finds documents and articles that the rest of us have missed.

(I am actually 21) Post-9/11 politics has thus far been an arena dominated by fear, hatred, and finger-pointing.

Joe from Providence. I was a linguistics student when this book came out. Students and instructors alike were baffled, spent hours trying to understand it, and loved it or berated it.
