Drawing on a wide range of examples, from the expanding drone assassination program to the threat of nuclear warfare, as well as the flashpoints of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Israel\/Palestine, he offers unexpected and nuanced insights into the workings of imperial power on our increasingly chaotic planet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the process, Chomsky provides a brilliant anatomy of just how U.S. elites have grown ever more insulated from any democratic constraints on their power. While the broader population is lulled into apathy--diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable--the corporations and the rich have increasingly been allowed to do as they please. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFierce, unsparing, and meticulously documented, \u003ci\u003eWho Rules the World?\u003c\/i\u003e delivers the indispensable understanding of the central conflicts and dangers of our time that we have come to expect from Chomsky.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Noam Chomsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\/2\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.2\" H x 5.4\" L x 1\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781250131089\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67784023441712,"sku":"9781250131089","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9781250131089.jpg?v=1789407561","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/who-rules-the-world-noam-chomsky-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
