O mais importante ativista intelectual do mundo oferece neste livro um aprofundado exame das mudanças do poder norte-americano, as ameaças à democracia e o futuro da ordem global. Meticulosamente documentado, Quem manda no mundo? é um guia indispensável para entender a situação internacional atual. Com clareza e oferecendo diversos exemplos, Chomsky mostra como os Estados Unidos continuam sendo a voz mais forte, mesmo com a ascensão da Europa e da Ásia. O envolvimento americano com China e Cuba, as sanções contra o Irã, os conflitos no Iraque, Afeganistão e Israel/Palestina, a relação com a América Latina e África e o aquecimento global são alguns dos pontos discutidos no livro. Chomsky escreveu um posfácio sobre a eleição de Donald Trump, o referendo Brexit e a ascensão dos partidos ultranacionalistas de extrema direita na Europa. Sua conclusão é alarmante e preocupante sobre o futuro do mundo. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"The world's leading intellectual offers a probing examination of the waning American Century, the nature of U.S. policies post-9/11, and the perils of valuing power above democracy and human rights In an incisive, thorough analysis of the current international situation, Noam Chomsky argues that the United States, through its military-first policies and its unstinting devotion to maintaining a world-spanning empire, is both risking catastrophe and wrecking the global commons. Drawing on a wide range of examples, from the expanding drone assassination program to the threat of nuclear warfare, as well as the flashpoints of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Israel/Palestine, he offers unexpected and nuanced insights into the workings of imperial power on our increasingly chaotic planet. In the process, Chomsky provides a brilliant anatomy of just how U.S. elites have grown ever more insulated from any democratic constraints on their power. While the broader population is lulled into apathy--diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable--the corporations and the rich have increasingly been allowed to do as they please. Fierce, unsparing, and meticulously documented, Who Rules the World? delivers the indispensable understanding of the central conflicts and dangers of our time that we have come to expect from Chomsky"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
