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

About this book

'Power Systems' is a searing collection of new insights from the mind of Noam Chomsky, the world's most prolific public intellectual and author of the best-selling 'Failed States', 'Hopes and Prospects' and 'Occupy'. In this new collection of conversations, conducted from 2010 to 2012, 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.
