NationofChange: BookClub Pick: Chomsky's new book is eye-opening


Noam Chomsky’s new book ‘Global Discontents’ is a must-read – Get Yours Here

This month's BookClub pick is Noam Chomsky's Global Discontents: Conversations on the Rising Threats to Democracy (The American Empire Project) – and it is a must-read for all NationofChange readers.

In a compelling new set of interviews, Noam Chomsky identifies the “dry kindling” of discontent around the world that could soon catch fire.

In wide-ranging discussions with David Barsamian, his longtime interlocutor, Noam Chomsky asks us to consider “the world we are leaving to our grandchildren”: one imperiled by climate change and the growing potential for nuclear war. If the current system is incapable of dealing with these threats, he argues, it’s up to us to radically change it.

As usual with his other books, Chomsky displays his mastery for explaining foreign and domestic policy.

The twelve interviews in Global Discontents 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.

In this book, Chomsky offers compelling insights that challenge your assumptions about how the world works. He gives you a completely different perspective of international conflicts and domestic politics.

Global Discontents is extremely well-written and well worth your time to read.

Noam Chomsky said, “I think NationofChange is doing a great and badly needed job. This is what inspired me to support it.”
