London : Hamish Hamilton ; Penguin books, 2016. vi, 307 pages, vi, 318 pages ; 22 cm Includes bibliographical references and index. "The world's leading intellectual offers a probing examination of the waning American Century, the nature of U.S. policies post-9/11, and the perils of valuing power above democracy and human rights In an incisive, thorough analysis of the current international situation, Noam Chomsky argues that the United States, through its military-first policies and its unstinting devotion to maintaining a world-spanning empire, is both risking catastrophe and wrecking the global commons. 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. In 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. Fierce, unsparing, and meticulously documented, Who Rules the World? delivers the indispensable understanding of the central conflicts and dangers of our time that we have come to expect from Chomsky"-- BIGD AAL Purchased by AAL Hye Trade International 31528, 44255 World politics 21st century. 20880 Power (Social sciences) 20881 United States Foreign relations 21st century. 20882 AUTH ddc BK 37917 37917 0 0 ddc 0 327_730000000000000_CHO 0 59889 IGS IGS GEN 2016-09-26 Riza Enterprises 1400.00 0 327.73 CHO 3010031528 2016-12-15 1 1400.00 2016-09-26 BK 0 0 ddc 0 327_730000000000000_CHO 0 77486 BRACUL BRACUL GEN 2025-03-18 Hye Trade International 999.00 7 7 327.73 CHO 3010044255 2026-09-10 2026-01-13 2026-01-13 2 999.00 2025-03-18 BK Requisitioned by Ayesha Abed Library.
