I like conversations of the post 9/11 world and What Uncle Same Really Wants. What are yours?
Profit over People: Neoliberalism and Global Order
I've only read The Essential Noam Chomsky so far. But I have read excerpts of Hegemony or Survival, I need to buy this guys books because I love it so far.
What books by Chomsky dose anyone recommend?
Read hopes and prospects recently, very good. Made up of essays so covers a wide range of issues from the israeli-palestinian conflict to the US 2008 elections.
ah, timely post lunatic, I just bought that and am reading that next as a brush up, i had previously read "the fateful triangle,' which is always a useful as a reference for background. Excellent Chomsky as always =)
Has any one read Gaza in Crisis: Reflections on Israel's War against the Palestinians? If so is it good?
I've read it. It's ok, not great. The only other Chomsky book I've read is _Understanding Power_, which is a collection of interviews from the '90s. It's outdated and poorly cited but worth the read nonetheless.
Understanding Power is really awesome in my opinion
Either mine would be The Fateful Triangle or it would be Failed States
I'm reading Manufacturing Consent - The Political Economy of the Mass Media (co-authored by Edward S. Herman). I think it's a must read.
Understanding Power was the first Chomsky I read. It is an excellent book, covering quite a wide variety of issues, but is a little outdated now (I later read At War With Asia, now that really is dated). I think Manufacturing Consent is probably my favourite Chomsky (and Herman), but the examples he uses are probably not very familiar to younger readers.
Understanding Power without a doubt.
