The Emerging Framework of World Power

In a sweeping state of the world address, America's leading foreign policy critic surveys the role of the US in a post-9/11 world - and finds nothing has changed. Ranging over American intervention in the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America since WW2, Chomsky deftly sketches the logic behind our foreign policy, and it's tragic results around the globe and at home. Whether it's globalization, oil, or a monopoly on real terror, it's business as usual, and we - not to mention the rest of the world - have to pay. Now more than ever, the venerable Professor stands as the voice of reason in an apparently insane world. Noam Chomsky, Professor of Linguistics at MIT, is an esteemed author of popular books and CDs on US foreign policy, mass media, and linguistics. Chomsky's book about 9/11 has been on bestseller lists of major newspapers such as NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, Village Voice and the Boston Globe. Even major media outlets such as CNN who have been critiqued by Chomsky sought his opinions regarding the events of 9/11.
