Without a doubt Noam Chomsky is one of the most important voice of our time. This book consists of much of his views on the world. Especially the role the US has played during the last century. A must read. My only objection is the format. It is a collection of interviews (interviewed by David Barsamian). And I feel that it didn't allow a deep comprehensive discussion. More like a collection of short burst of views rather than a complete discourse. Albeit in a Chomsky's trademark unapologetic style.

The processes, and the institutions that engender them, could be changed. But that will require cultural, social and institutional changes of no little moment, including democratic structures that go far beyond periodic selection of representatives of the business world to manage domestic and international affairs.
