In "Making the Future", Noam Chomsky takes on a wide
range of hot-button issues including the ongoing financial crisis,
Obama's presidency, the limits of the two-party system, nuclear
Iran, Afghanistan, Israel-Palestine, corporate power, and the
future of American politics. Laced throughout his critiques are
expressions of commitment to democracy and the power of popular
struggles. 'Progressive legislation and social welfare',
writes Chomsky, 'have been won by popular struggles, not gifts
from above. Those struggles follow a cycle of success and setback.
They must be waged every day, not just once every four years,
always with the goal of creating a genuinely responsive democratic
society, from the voting booth to the workplace'. "Making
the Future" offers fierce, accessible, timely, gloves-off
political writing by one of the world's foremost intellectual
and political dissidents.
Chomsky is one of a small band of individuals fighting a whole industry. And that makes him not only brilliant, but heroic -- Arundhati Roy Noam Chomsky is an inspiration all over the world - to millions I suspect - for the simple reason that he is a truth-teller on an epic scale -- John Pilger Noam Chomsky is a global phenomenon ... he may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet today The New York Times Book Review
