Global Discontents

.

Glad to see another Barsamian/Chomsky collaboration. I remember reading 'Chronicles of Dissent' almost thirty years ago. Chomsky is much breezier and less academic in these wide-ranging discussions than in his more serious tomes. Topics include imperialism, propaganda, Trump, the economy, global warming, and hopes and prospects for the survival of our species. Oh, and unlike virtually every other thinker there are these novel things called 'Notes' at the end of the book. In the notes you find sources. Sources mean you aren't just making shit up.
