Powers and Prospects

Powers and Prospects is a vital compilation of Chomsky's writings, lifting the veil of distortions that conceals the workings of history and social policy, and revealing how the 'new' world order is little more than a remarketing of the old. No admirer of Chomsky can afford to be without this timeless selection of his thought.
