Power Systems

Conversations with David Barsamian on Global Democratic Uprisings and the New Challenges to U.S. Empire





A searing collection of new insights from the world's most celebrated public intellectual and activist

In this new collection of conversations, Noam Chomsky explores the most immediate and urgent concerns: the future of democracy in the Arab world, the implications of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the 'class war' fought by U.S. business interests against working people and the poor, the breakdown of mainstream political institutions and the rise of the far right.

The latest volume from a long-established, trusted partnership, this collection will inspire a new generation of readers, as well as longtime Chomsky fans eager for his latest thinking on the many crises we now confront across the world.
