Acerca de esta escucha

According to The New York Times, Noam Chomsky is "arguably the most important intellectual alive." But he isn't easy to read...or at least he wasn't until these books came along. Made up of intensively edited speeches and interviews, they offer something not found anywhere else: pure Chomsky, with every dazzling idea and penetrating insight intact, delivered in clear, accessible, listener-friendly prose.

Published as four short books in the famous Real Story series - What Uncle Sam Really Wants; The Prosperous Few and the Restless Many; Secrets, Lies and Democracy; and The Common Good - they've collectively sold almost 600,000 copies. And they continue to sell year after year after year because Chomsky's ideas become, if anything, more relevant as time goes by. For example, 20 years ago, he pointed out that "in 1970, about 90% of international capital was used for trade and long-term investment - more or less productive things - and 10% for speculation. By 1990, those figures had reversed." As we know, speculation continued to increase exponentially. We're paying the price now for not heeding him them.

great book 📖

A good listen that never stood still for too long and yet is filled with relevant and little known information that I could follow. I can't wait to listen to it again.

As relevant in 2023 as it was originally

will read again and again. Great place to start if you don’t know where to dive into Chomsky

Very heavy political commentary

Very thought provoking yet highly opinionated and sometimes sarcastic commentary on America. I learned a lot. But I was also glad when it was over because it was heavy and had a negative effect on my mood.

Inspiring

I wanted to honor Noam Chomsky because he is now disabled. As a life long activist this book was a gift to me. It's full of important historical facts, examples to copy and a can do attitude about building a way free of corporate domination of our media, democracy, economy and culture. Now it's up to us let's do it!

Salient and Thought Provoking

Chomsky is difficult to understand and follow for someone like me, who doesn’t posses his intellect or his amazing recall of information. His mind puts so much information and so many puzzle pieces together and “How the World Works” breaks those down into digestible nuggets for those curious to learn more about Chomsky. I wish the information was a little more recent, but much of the takeaways are timeless.

Eye opening

Noam Chonskys sober view of the reality is helpful in determining the civic action needed to create better livelihoods for all. If you have doubts about the righteousness of current power structures , you’ll greatly appreciate this book.
