{"product_id":"chomskys-politics-9781859840115","title":"Chomsky's Politics","description":"For over twenty-five years Noam Chomsky's prolific political intervention has enlightened and inspired radicals while enraging their opponents in the halls of power. Beginning with a concise biography of his subject, Milan Rai presents a sympathetic yet probing analysis of Chomsky's critique of United States' media and foreign policy and his vision of a libertarian socialist future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on the entire range of Chomsky's prodigious output, including little-known interviews and articles, Rai examines Chomsky's assault on journalistic self-censorship and business control of the mass media. He shows how Chomsky challenges the US's view of itself as a defender of democracy and equal rights by uncovering the hidden motivations of its foreign policy makers. Rai draws out features of Chomsky's outlook which are sometimes obscured by a rapid coverage of a wide range of issues. In particular he emphasizes the importance of Chomsky's cultural critique in his ordering of political priorities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAccessible and comprehensive, \u003ci\u003eChomsky's Politics\u003c\/i\u003e serves as an excellent introduction for those confronting Chomsky's critique for the first time.
