If the current system is incapable of dealing with these threats, he argues, it's up to us to radically change it.These twelve interviews examine the latest developments around the globe: the rise of ISIS, the reach of state surveillance, growing anger over economic inequality, conflicts in the Middle East, and the presidency of Donald Trump. In personal reflections on his Philadelphia childhood, Chomsky also describes his own intellectual journey and the development of his uncompromising stance as America's premier dissident intellectual. 538 Requires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 809 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB). 600 10 Chomsky, Noam|xPolitical and social views. 600 10 Chomsky, Noam|vInterviews. 650 0 Democracy|zUnited States. 650 0 World politics|y21st century. 650 0 Climatic changes. 650 0 Income distribution|zUnited States. 650 0 International economic relations|xPolitical aspects. 650 0 Linguists|zUnited States|vInterviews. 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y2017- 655 7 Interviews.|2lcgft 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 700 1 Barsamian, David,|einterviewer. 830 0 American empire project. 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/3205729 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby. 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=7eaf463e- 50dd-4353-94ec-3b52c01d13ec&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/2390-1/ %7B7EAF463E-50DD-4353-94EC-3B52C01D13EC%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover Image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/2390-1/ %7B7EAF463E-50DD-4353-94EC-3B52C01D13EC%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover Image
